Background
Ho Wood Essential Oil is extracted via steam distillation from the wood or bark of the Ho Wood tree (Cinnamomum camphora), native to China and now found in Japan and Taiwan. A close botanical cousin to Rosewood and Eucalyptus, it also yields Ravintsara essential oil when distilled from the leaves. Ho Wood’s scent is often mistaken for camphor oil but is softer and more floral, making it ideal for aromatherapy and relaxation blends.

It acts as a natural harmoniser in essential oil blends and is considered a gentler alternative to Rosewood Essential Oil. With its peaceful, floral-woody fragrance, it’s a favourite in skincare, diffuser blends, and emotional support applications.
