Phitophilos Red Sandalwood Powder cold hair toning 300g

Red Sandalwood powder

Phitofilos Sandalo Rosso is a natural powder made from the bark of red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) – an aromatic and traditionally valued ingredient used in natural cosmetics, aromatherapy, and increasingly in herbal hair care and tone-enhancing blends.

Red sandalwood powder is ideal for enhancing or softening cool red, pink, and mahogany tones. It adds depth to herbal colour mixtures, cools down overly warm results, and gives the hair a soft rosy or reddish hue – especially effective on light to medium-toned hair.

Red sandalwood benefits for hair and tone:

• Adds cool depth and nuance to red and pink tones

• Softens overly warm results and helps neutralise coppery reflections

• Contains antioxidant and soothing compounds (santalol, santaline, flavonoids) that care for hair and scalp

• Strengthens hair fibre, reduces breakage, and supports shine

• 100% plant-based, chemical-free, and vegan – suitable for sensitive scalps and clients seeking a natural approach

Good to know:

• Not effective as a standalone dye – recommended to use in combination with henna, cassia, hibiscus, or other tone-giving plants

• Does not form a creamy texture or provide full coverage on its own

• The tone holds well but may fade gradually with washing, as it is a natural pigment

• Best results are achieved on light, light brown, or pre-coloured hair

Red sandalwood recommended herbal tone blends:

• Henna + Katam + Red Sandalwood – deep cool red

• Cassia + Camomilla + Red Sandalwood Powder – light strawberry blonde

• Rhubarb + Red Sandalwood Powder – radiant pastel for blondes

• Hibiscus + Barberry Bark + Red Sandalwood Powder – soft rosy-cool hue for light hair

Phitofilos Red Sandalwood is a powerful, plant-based tool for professional hair artists who want to refine tones, bring out cool red or pink nuances, and offer clients a sensory, aesthetic experience through herbal care – without synthetic dyes.
