Hinoki Oil

Find your calm in seconds with pure hinoki oil.
Distilled from Japanese cypress trees, our hinoki oil delivers the same calming compounds found in fresh forest air.

Hinoki trees naturally release compounds called phytoncides, which have been scientifically proven to lower stress and restore balance. For centuries, these forests have been a place of healing and renewal. Now, we’ve bottled that feeling so you can use it anytime, anywhere.

How powerful is it? A single drop of hinoki oil delivers the calming power of an entire forest walk.
When you walk through a forest, your body on average absorbs about 2,000 to 5,000 micrograms of phytoncides per hour. One drop of our hinoki oil contains around 3,000 to 4,500 micrograms.

Use Hinoki to shift your state instantly:

  1. Smell directly from the bottle for immediate calm. Enhance the effect with 5 minutes of deep breathing.
  2. Diffuse 2–3 drops to fill your space with grounded focus.
  3. Use before bed, before meetings, or whenever you need an instant shift in your mindset.

Hinoki oil's botanical name is Chamaecyparis obtusa (hinoki) and originates from Japan.

Instant Calm:
Feel your nervous system begin to reset within seconds. Combine with five minutes of deep breathing for an even deeper sense of ease.

Natural Focus:
Hinoki sharpens your mental clarity without relying on caffeine or synthetic stimulants. Great for work, workouts, or anytime your thoughts feel scattered.

Better Sleep:
Diffuse before bed to help your body transition into rest mode and sleep more deeply through the night.

Portable Peace:
Keep it in your pocket, bag, or desk. Whenever the moment calls for calm, it’s right there.

Science-Backed Relief:
Each drop delivers the same natural compounds released by forests proven to reduce stress and bring your body back into balance.

WHY WE LOVE HINOKI OIL

Hinoki oil instantly became our favorite essential oil after we discovered it at an onsen during a visit to Japan. Its calming aroma helped us feel fully present in the moment and was the perfect start to our time to relax. While the onsen's serene atmosphere may have heightened our initial reaction, it’s a testament to the power of scent. Once we returned to the US, we made hinoki oil a big part of our evening routine. After completing our skincare regimen, we take a few minutes to breathe deeply while enjoying the pure scent straight from the bottle, followed by applying a single drop to our hands before bed.

I love making my own lotions and soaps with hinoki. It’s a little pricey but completely worth it.

I’m more obsessed with this oil

Hinoki oil is one of nature’s beautiful gifts. I started using it throughout the day to help control my mood swings and it’s made a really big difference. I know everyone reacts to oils differently but it’s worth trying if you’re looking to help reduce stress an all natural way.
