Botanical Name: Cinnamomum camphora

Main Constituents:
Linalool: > 98%

Plant Part: Branches and Leaves

Origin: China

Processing Method: Steam Distilled

Description / Color / Consistency: A thin, pale yellow to yellow liquid.

Aromatic Summary / Note / Strength of Aroma: A middle note with a medium aroma, Ho Wood Essential Oil has a sweeter woody scent like rosewood's, with camphoraceous notes.

Blends With: Bergamot, Lavender, Geranium, Sandalwood and Cedarwood.

Product Abstract: Ho Wood Essential Oil has recently been used as a replacement for Rosewood Essential Oil because of its similar chemical properties and applications. Previously used for sword and knife handles because it would not scratch the fine blades, Ho Wood became more popular in 1985 when a major explosion at a linalool-producing facility greatly decreased the available supply, which launched Ho Wood as a natural and sustainable replacement. Locally referred to as Shiu Oil, it is commonly broken for its aromatic constituents.

Cautions: Dilute before use; for external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended prior to use. Contact with eyes should be avoided.

Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping) be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.

This Ho wood is so nice. Sweet and quote potent, you don't need to use alot. I added it to a sleep blend for diffusing and I love it. It has a calming and relaxing effect.

Wow! So soft and light but intoxicating. Love this smell. Reminds be of a mix of bergamot and frankincense oil. Got the 15ml, will be getting the 100ml next order. Looking forward to using it in my diffuser at my next yoga class.

When I want authentic cocoa-chocolate scent in my products, I always use the crude cocoa butter. The scent and feel is amazing. I'm never out of this butter and the products I formulate using this coco butter always leave my hair soft, hydrated and beautiful. Thanks ND for an amazing product.

Light and inviting... this one is fresh! It smells wonderful. Ho wood has a hint of light wood maybe birch or white cedar mixed with a gentle breeze of geranium and a whisper of rose. It's as mysterious as it is innocent. I blend it with mandarin and vanilla during the day and blend it with lavender in the evening.

Love this product - beautiful to blend with. I use it to tone down the rose scent in my products as I use a lot of rose for the wrinkle reducing properties. This turns it from too floral to just right in my books. I also love it blended with citrus scents as it rounds them out beautifully.

I love Ho Wood EO. It has a unique and lovely woody scent that is not overpowering. I used it in a blend for my teenage grandson and the whole family wanted one! Thank you NDA for this beautiful oil.

This is an interesting oil! I haven't had much chance to try its therapeutic properties, but I just had to write a review for the scent! I've been mixing it with various oils to try different blends - oils like white grapefruit and neroli and coriander seed - and ho wood seems to always give everything a note of... CANDY! As I type this, I'm sitting here smelling like candy hearts. Is that just bananas or what?

I love this. I actually use this as a component of two different remedy mixtures. First for stopping the itch of mosquito bites and Second for acne break-out. Love it, the properties are great for both and the scent is nice too.

Always on the lookout for natural preservatives, I found howood to be an excellent and healing addition to any cosmetic making. It has become a staple in my recipes, both for its effects and for its scent.

I made cp soap with this as the scent back in September 2007 and the scent is still just as strong in the soap that is still sitting here in storage. Some scents fade but this one has stayed very well.
