FAQ — Ho Wood (Cinnamomum camphora ct. linalool) Essential Oil (manufacturer)

First, our Ho Wood essential oil is 100% pure and natural, steam-distilled from sustainably sourced wood/twigs of Cinnamomum camphora (linalool chemotype). Moreover, its silky floral-woody character with a clean, calming lift comes from naturally high linalool content. Consequently, when correctly diluted it suits soothing diffusion, gentle rinse-off cleansers and well-balanced massage oils.

What makes Ho Wood oil different?

In short, Ho Wood is naturally rich in linalool, offering a soft lavender-adjacent vibe but with a rounder, woody base. In addition, it pairs beautifully at micro-dose with lavender, bergamot, cedarwood, cypress and rosemary. Therefore, it shines in calming room sprays, body oils and rinse-off face/body products.

How to use it — dilution & applications (step by step)

1. First, always dilute before skin use: ≈0.05–0.25% for face (rinse-off preferred); ≈0.25–1.0% for body.
2. Next, perform a 24-hour patch test on the inner forearm prior to first use.
3. Then, apply on intact skin only; avoid eyes and mucous membranes.
4. Afterwards, for diffusion/room care, use sparingly (1–3 drops) in well-ventilated spaces.
5. Finally, for deodorising sprays/surface cleaners, keep total fragrance load low; shake before use.
6. Optionally, round the accord with a hint of cedarwood or brighten with bergamot/lemon.

Additionally, start low and increase gradually according to tolerance. Alternatively, prefer rinse-off formats for first trials.
