Hinoki Essential Oil

Belonging to the family of cyperus, hinoki essential oil is a botanical extract from the Japanese Chamaecyparis obtusa plant. It is a rare steam distilled oil that makes for a relaxing addition to diffuser blends, foot soaks, aromatherapy mists, and natural perfume blends. 

Our hinoki essential oil has a woody, zesty and slightly green aroma that will instantly remind you of the peace and calm of a Japanese forest. It is beneficial in aligning the erratic nature of thoughts. Hinoki oil (aka Japanese Cyperus oil) is used in spiritual and meditation to achieve a zen state of mind. 

The hinoki plant is also known as Japanese cyperus and is a rare slow-growing plant. It might take forever to reach its optimum growth potential but once stable, hinoki plants can live for a very long period of time. Along with the oil, the hinoki wood is also popular for its applications in crafting furniture. 

While there are a lot of synthetic alternatives available in the market, Aromachology Hinoku Essential Oil is completely natural and free from chemical additives. It is available in wholesale and bulk packs for all your manufacturing needs.
