本原料について
クロモジ（Lindera umbellata）はクスノキ科の落葉低木で、本州・四国・九州の山林に自生する。茶道の楊枝や高級和菓子の黒文字として伝統的に使用されてきた。水蒸気蒸留した精油はリナロール、1,8-シネオール、α/β-ピネンを主成分とする、爽やかで柑橘・木質系のプロファイル。里山の持続可能性を訴求できる、日本独自のヒノキ代替素材として位置付けられる。

OEM バイヤー向け FAQ
Q. What is the typical MOQ and lead time for kuromoji essential oil and extract?
Supplier-disclosed industry ranges are 100 ml – 1 L for essential oil and 1–10 kg for dried branch/leaf material, with 4–10 week lead times. Production is artisanal and concentrated around small regional distillers in Gifu, Nagano, Tottori, Shimane, Kōchi (Niyodogawa), and the Mt. Hakusan area near Kanazawa. Annual capacity is finite per distiller; allocations to brand customers should be planned at the start of each calendar year.

Q. Is single-forest origin documentation available?
Yes. Several regional kuromoji distillers operate from designated satoyama forestry programs and can issue origin documentation tying material to a specific forest or municipality. This is a meaningful positioning lever for craft-cosmetic brands; it carries premium pricing and lower-volume supply. Some distillers also operate under sustainable thinning and forest-management certifications.

Q. What linalool content range should buyers expect on the COA?
Expect linalool content roughly in the 40–65% range for essential oil and around 55–60% for hydrosol, varying with region, season, and plant part (leaf, branch, or branch+leaf). Specify the desired plant-part composition and request a GC profile on the COA; for fragrance-critical applications, request batch-level GC rather than nominal spec ranges, since natural variation is meaningful.
