DETAILS

Hiba is one of the most revered trees in Japan. They take up to 300 years to grow, and produce durable, rot-resistant wood. Studies have shown that Hinokitiol, only found in Aomori-bred Hiba trees (not to be confused with Hinoki), has potent antimicrobial, germicidal, insect-repellent, and deodorizing properties. Hiba essential oil is extracted from the wood waste of mature trees through vapor distillation. The trees are not harmed in any way. Avoid use during pregnancy.
