HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sandalwood by Revive

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Revive Sandalwood is a liquid made from one active ingredient: white sandalwood. This is the whole product — there are no other active ingredients or fillers listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient White Sandalwood product and its label doesn't state a use — see White Sandalwood's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for sandalwood isn't established in our data. It's been used traditionally for bronchitis, angina, anxiety, headache, and the common cold, but we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient White Sandalwood

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sandalwood is generally well tolerated when taken in small food amounts, though some people report itching or nausea. Topically, it can occasionally cause contact dermatitis (a skin rash from direct contact).

The real caution here is that oral medicinal use of sandalwood hasn't been thoroughly studied, so we don't know all the potential risks. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data advises against medicinal use of sandalwood — the evidence isn't there to say it's safe for either situation.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient White Sandalwood

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — White Sandalwood.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take lithium, check with your pharmacist before using this product — white sandalwood may increase the level of lithium in your blood and require a dose adjustment. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Revive Sandalwood is lightly studied as a medicine. If you take lithium, you should check with your pharmacist first — this product could affect your lithium levels.

For everyone else, the main concern is that oral medicinal sandalwood use isn't well established, so unknown risks are possible. Chat with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any regular medications.

Sandalwood by Revive: Common Questions

Does Sandalwood by Revive interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sandalwood has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sandalwood contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is sandalwood safe to take by mouth?
In small food amounts, yes — it's generally well tolerated. In medicinal doses, though, we don't have enough safety data to say for sure. That's why caution is advised, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any regular medications.
What side effects might I get from this?
Most people don't report problems, but itching and nausea have been noted with oral use. Topically (on skin), contact dermatitis (a rash) is possible, though rare. If you notice any new symptoms, stop and talk with your pharmacist.
Will this help my bronchitis or anxiety?
Sandalwood has been used traditionally for both, but we don't have enough reliable evidence in our data to say it actually works for either. If you're looking for treatment, your pharmacist or doctor can suggest options with better evidence behind them.
Is it safe to use while I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against medicinal use of sandalwood during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what options might be safer for you.
What if I'm breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against medicinal use during breastfeeding as well. Again, your doctor or pharmacist can help you find safer alternatives.
I take lithium — is this product okay for me?
Not without checking first. Sandalwood may slow how your body clears lithium, which could raise the level in your blood. Call your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.
