Lāʻau ʻAla (Santalum Paniculatum) is the Sandalwood tree endemic to Ka Pae ʻĀina o Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Archipelago). Sandalwood has been used in Hawaiʻi and the world over for its very unique scent as well as its special and extremely powerful medicinal activities relating to antimicrobial & antiviral effects, anticancer & anti-tumor effects, and its ability to act as a topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic.

α-santalol and β-santalol are the most vital ingredients contributing to sandalwood oil’s bioactivities and unique woody odor characteristics. Lāʻau ʻAla (Santalum Paniculatum) has been tested and shown by Hāloa ʻĀina to have higher levels of both alpha and beta santalols than either the Santalum Album or Santalum Spicatum species found in Asia-- higher than the current ISO standard for santalol content.

Lāʻau ʻAla produced by Hāloa ʻĀina on Hawaiʻi Island is the only USDA certified organic sandalwood oil that meets the international ISO standard for santalol content.

This journey is not just about reclaiming land; it’s a dedication to revitalizing the native flora that sustains Hawaiʻi Island’s unique environment.

Dr. Lee’s expertise and passion channel vital resources into the restoration of dryland forests and the rich biodiversity of Hawaiʻi Island as its natural watershed is restored. Through educational initiatives, he inspires his community to participate in reforestation efforts, fostering a kuleana, a collective responsibility, to “mālama ʻāina, mālama wai” - to care for the land and freshwater. As more individuals and families engage in this mission, the initiative becomes a living embodiment of Hawaiian cultural values, promoting a sustainable future for generations to come.

How does lāʻau ʻala produced by Hāloa ʻĀina relate to reforestation?

Many people do not know that the Hawaiian Sandalwood, or Lāʻau ʻAla, plays a vital role in its ecosystem as a hemiparasitic plant. It relies on host plants, such as the endemic koa, māmane, and naio trees, for water and nutrients. These trees are unique to Hawaiʻi, creating a rich and biodiverse environment.

At Hāloa ʻĀina, the commitment to reforestation and sustainable forestry is evident in their practices. For every Hawaiian sandalwood tree planted, a koa tree is also nurtured alongside it. This symbiotic relationship is crucial; Lāʻau ʻAla extracts nutrients from the koa while providing it with santalol compounds, which help the host tree combat insects and diseases.

The lifecycle of Lāʻau ʻAla is relatively short compared to its koa counterpart. Hāloa ʻĀina adopts a responsible approach by harvesting only dead and dying Sandalwood plants by helicopter from the Dryland forests, ensuring that the living host trees and surrounding native plants remain unharmed. The harvested sandalwood is then skillfully processed on-site into oil, hydrosol, and wood chips, contributing to a sustainable cycle. Following this, new saplings of Lāʻau ʻAla are planted, continuing the important ecological cycle of growth and regeneration.
