Description

Derived from the wood of the precious Japanese Hinoki tree, Hinoki essential oil is beneficial to the skin and has a beautiful aroma. Frequently used in personal care products, Hinoki oil is soothing to the skin and can also be incorporated into a relaxing massage. In addition to its skin benefits, the woody, balsamic scent of Hinoki oil can help create a calm environment when diffused. This fresh aroma also makes Hinoki oil popular for use in perfumes, and the Japanese commonly use it in baths for a relaxing aroma.

For centuries, the wood of the Hinoki tree has been used to build shrines and temples across Japan, and is still used today in the timber industry. While Hinoki is a prized resource, its wood has been over-populating areas of Japan for years. Seeing an environmental and economic need, doTERRA has partnered with groups in Japan to use the timber industry’s by-product of Hinoki wood to create this beautiful essential oil. Through the Hinoki Co-Impact Sourcing effort, doTERRA not only contributes to Japan’s forest management programs, but also creates needed jobs across rural Japan—ensuring that this unique, premium oil continues to give back to the people of its native land.
