Collection: Ho Wood Essential Oil
Essential Oils
Cinnamomum camphora ct. linalool
Ho wood essential oil is steam distilled from the wood of the Cinnamomum camphora tree,the same species as camphor,but from a specific chemotype whose dominant constituent is linalool rather than camphor. This makes ho wood a sustainable, ethically sound alternative to rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora), a protected species whose trade is restricted due to deforestation concerns in the Amazon. Ho wood offers a similar warm, sweet, woody-floral character to rosewood at a fraction of the environmental cost.
Ho wood is cultivated sustainably in China, where the linalool-rich chemotype is selectively grown for the fragrance and aromatherapy industries. Its warm, soft, woody-sweet aroma makes it an exceptional mid-to-base note in natural perfumery and a versatile, gentle essential oil for skincare.
