From a small family workshop in Amreli to thousands of homes across India — a legacy of purity, craft, and devotion to the world's most sacred wood.
Amreli, a quiet city in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, has long been associated with some of India's finest artisanal sandalwood work. Here, among workshop lanes fragrant with chandan dust, the BB family has been selecting, carving, and distilling sandalwood for five generations.
Our founder, Bhavesh Bhai, was raised learning to distinguish heartwood from sapwood by scent alone — a skill passed from his grandfather's grandfather. He established BB Sandalwood Products not just as a business, but as a commitment to preserving authentic Amreli craft in a world increasingly flooded with synthetic substitutes.
Today, every product that carries the BB name is still personally approved by the family before it ships to our customers.
Balkrishna Bhai, great-great-grandfather of today's team, opens a small carving workshop in Amreli's old bazaar. He specialises in religious idols for local temples.
The second generation invests in a traditional copper still, beginning the production of pure sandalwood essential oil for Ayurvedic practitioners across Gujarat.
BB Sandalwood becomes one of the first family businesses in Amreli to obtain independent laboratory certification for santalol content — setting the purity standard others follow.
The fourth generation launches a skincare line — soaps, face packs, and body oils — bringing the therapeutic benefits of pure sandalwood to daily wellness rituals.
BB Sandalwood launches its online store, bringing five generations of Amreli craft to customers across India and the world — while keeping every product handmade and family-approved.
We source only from licensed, sustainably managed sandalwood groves. For every kilo harvested, we support replanting efforts with the Gujarat Forest Department.
Every production batch is independently tested for santalol content (minimum 82%), adulteration, heavy metals, and microbiological safety. No compromises, ever.
BB Sandalwood employs over 30 craftsmen and craftswomen from Amreli, all paid fairly above market rates. We believe traditional skills deserve economic dignity.
Traditional Ayurvedic formulations and carving techniques are documented and taught to the next generation, ensuring centuries of knowledge are never lost.
Full compliance with the Indian Forest Act, CITES Appendix II requirements, Gujarat forest department regulations, and GST laws for all our products and operations.
We offer full traceability — every product ships with batch information, lab certificate access, and a personal note from our quality team. Your trust is our foundation.
