Hinoki Wood Essential Oil

(Also known as Japanese Cypress Essential Oil)

Our organically crafted Hinoki Wood Essential Oil—also known as Japanese Cypress Oil—is steam distilled from the sustainably harvested wood of Chamaecyparis obtusa, a revered conifer native to the mountainous forests of central Japan. With a delicate, woody aroma and gentle terpenic notes, Hinoki Oil evokes the tranquility of shinrin-yoku—the Japanese practice of “forest bathing,” or immersing oneself in the healing atmosphere of nature.

Considered sacred in Japan, Hinoki has long been prized for its strong yet fragrant wood, traditionally used to build temples, shrines, and sacred baths. Due to overharvesting, wild Hinoki is now endangered. Our oil is sourced with integrity—distilled exclusively from reclaimed wood byproducts (offcuts, culled trees, and sawdust) from sustainable forestry, ensuring the preservation of this treasured species.
