Hinoki Forest - Natural Soap

The sacred scent of Japanese cypress forests.

Hinoki—Japanese cypress—has been revered in Japan for over 1,300 years. Used to build temples and shrines, its wood and essential oil carry the forest's purifying, grounding energy into your bathing ritual.

What is Hinoki?

Hinoki (Japanese cypress) grows in the mountain forests of Japan. Walking through a hinoki forest is considered therapeutic—the air itself feels cleansing. The wood is sacred, used in Shinto shrines and traditional bathhouses for its antiseptic and calming properties. The scent is woody, green, and deeply grounding.

Why Hinoki Soap

• Purifying: Natural antiseptic properties from hinoki essential oil
• Anti-inflammatory: Gentle and soothing for sensitive skin
• Grounding: Woody forest scent calms and centers
• Traditional: Used in Japanese bathhouses for centuries
