The Quest
The quest light and velvet liquid gold that breathes calm and wonder into the everyday, is one that has been going for centuries. Bringing spots of calm light into our daily lives is a practice that ties us to customs and traditions of people both in our present day and into the far-reaching past. Hinoki Essential oil is part of that lineage in combining a few pure ingredients, the aroma that can transport one to a lush forest with just one deep breath.
Tsubaki Japanese Tradition
Tsubaki Oil or Camellia Japonica’s lasting utilization over centuries is a testament to its timeless efficacy. Tsubaki is native to East Asia and was first developed as a natural Japanese beauty product during the Edo Period (1600-1868). Not only was Tsubaki oil used as an effective emollient for cosmetic purposes, its stunning flower has been presented in traditional art and pattern design throughout Japanese history as a motif love and longing.
The Essence
Tsubaki Oil refers to a specific type of Camelia (Camellia Japonica) plant that is specifically well suited for topical use due to its richness in emollient oleic acid (omega-9 fatty acid) and linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid). Together they make Tsubaki oil a classic emollient: it softens the skin and helps hold in moisture, a natural fit for dry seasons.
Harmony
While the Hinoki Noir Red Essential Pure Oil highlights Tsubaki as the star ingredient, a few other oils harmonize along with it: Sunflower and Sea Buckthorn, with Vitamin E for an extra layer of moisture. This formulation wouldn’t be complete without Hinoki Essential Oil, the illustrious component that makes this oil blend so rich. The aroma recalls a Japanese forest.
