Q&A

What is Hinoki?

Hinoki is Japanese cypress—sacred, serene, and softly aromatic. Our essential oil is sustainably sourced in Japan and bottled to preserve its purity.

Are Hinoki products natural?

Yes. Our formulas are mostly organic, plant-based, cruelty-free, and free from artificial color.

Do you use synthetic fragrance?

Never. We use only pure Hinoki oil—unblended, elemental.

How is the scent of Hinoki different from perfume?

Hinoki offers a quiet, natural presence—it doesn’t follow you, but invites you to follow it. Unlike perfume, it contains no synthetic fixatives and moves gently with your body’s warmth and rhythm.

Where are your products made?

Our Hinoki oil is sustainably sourced from Japan. Body care products are handmade in small batches in the U.S.; towels and selected items are made in Japan.

What is Imabari?

From Japan’s leading textile region, Imabari towels are crafted using soft spring water and time-honored techniques for extraordinary absorbency and touch.

Is your towel collection sustainable?

One towel style includes upcycled yarn from Imabari production. All are made with care and built to last.

How do I care for my towel?

Wash gently with cold or warm water. Hang dry or tumble dry low. No bleach or softener should be used.
