Hinoki — the scent of Japanese cypress
Hinoki is Japanese cypress, a tree closely associated with woodcraft, traditional buildings and bathing in Japan. Hinoki-wood baths are still a familiar part of Japanese onsen and ryokan culture, while the timber has long been valued for important buildings, shrines and temples.
The essential oil in this balm is distilled from hinoki wood. Its scent is clean, dry and woody, with the natural character of freshly cut cypress rather than a blended forest perfume.
What I like about hinoki is the sense of calm and clarity it brings. It has a warm wooden character that feels very different from the citrus, mint and conifer oils elsewhere in the collection.
The balm
Hinoki Cypress combines organic jojoba oil and olive-derived squalane to help soften and condition the skin, with shea butter and white beeswax for richness and to help reduce moisture loss.
Its only added scent is the single hinoki cypress essential oil sourced from Japan.
Made with 100% natural-origin ingredients.
