Sobre este ingrediente

O hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) é uma conífera endêmica do Japão e de Taiwan, célebre pelo uso na construção de santuários Shinto e em banheiras de onsen. O óleo essencial é obtido por destilação a vapor da madeira, das folhas ou dos galhos de hinoki. Os compostos dominantes incluem hinokitiol, α-pineno e sesquiterpenos. Distinto do hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata).

FAQ para compradores OEM

Q. What is the typical MOQ and lead time for hinoki essential oil?

Supplier-disclosed industry ranges are 5–20 L for essential oil and 50–100 L for hydrosol, with 4–10 week lead times. Production is year-round (wood and leaf are stable inputs) but capacity at specialty regional distillers — Kiso (Nagano), Tōno (Iwate), Yoshino (Nara) — is finite. For larger commercial volumes, plan allocation 2–3 months ahead of formulation needs.

Q. Should buyers specify leaf-distilled vs wood-distilled origin?

Yes — they have distinct compositions and aroma profiles. Leaf-distilled oils tend toward fresh-green and herbaceous notes (sabinene, terpinyl acetate); wood-distilled oils give the characteristic deep-resinous 'bath-house' aroma associated with hinoki interiors (α-pinene, sesquiterpenes). Specify the plant part on the spec to avoid mismatches between expected aroma and delivered material.

Q. Are there single-forest origin (e.g., Kiso) options?

Yes. Specialty regional distillers in Kiso, Yoshino, and Tōno produce single-forest origin hinoki oil with documented forestry chain-of-custody, sometimes from sustainable thinning operations (a positioning tied to satoyama forest management). MOQ ceilings are smaller and pricing is materially higher than aggregate commercial material. For brands with a 'forest-bathing' (shinrin-yoku) story, the documented origin can support premium positioning.
