Chamaecyparis Obtusa Wood Oil
Chamaecyparis Obtusa Wood Oil, derived from the wood of the Hinoki cypress tree, is prized in skincare for its potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. Rich in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes such as sabinene, α-terpinyl acetate, and elemol, this essential oil helps reduce bacterial and fungal growth, making it effective for treating blemished, irritated, or sensitive skin. It supports skin barrier health by reducing inflammation and transepidermal water loss, while promoting wound healing and soothing atopic dermatitis symptoms. Additionally, it offers antioxidant benefits that protect against environmental stressors and may contribute to anti-aging effects. Its calming, woody aroma also provides stress-relief and relaxation benefits, making it suitable for use in creams, serums, shampoos, and body care products targeting sensitive, acne-prone, or inflamed skin.
