Question 1

What is the difference between Ho-Wood and classical camphor tree essential oil?

Accepted Answer

Ho-Wood (Cinnamomum camphora var. glavescens) is a linalool-rich chemotype with a soft, floral-woody aroma that is well tolerated in skin preparations. The classical camphor tree variety is camphor-rich, with a much more pungent, penetrating aroma. The two chemotypes thus give very different oils from the same species.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml Ho-Wood essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Ho-Wood oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.

Question 3

Can Ho-Wood essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Ho-Wood essential oil should be diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 1-3% concentration for skin preparations. A patch test on the inner elbow is recommended on sensitive skin. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
