Qian Li Mu Turns Rare Red Sandalwood Into Natural Beauty Products

— November 21, 2019 — Fashion
The rare red sandalwood that was once only used by emperors is now the key ingredient in Qian Li Mu's natural beauty products. Fusing health, beauty, modern technology and ancient Chinese medicine, Pengmen International's brand is creating affordable solutions that are designed to make people feel younger. Notably, precious red sandalwood is used by luxury brands like Chanel and Hermes.

Red sandalwood cream is said to have been copied from an ancient Chinese recipe from the palace in the Tang Dynasty and is said to "make people younger with daily cleaning." Red sandalwood is also integrated into lipsticks and other skincare products that are beneficial for targeting spots, wrinkles and other areas of concern.

Due to the limited stock and the regulations surrounding red sandalwood, it is expected that the cosmetics may only be available in small quantities.
