Ho Wood Essential Oil
Average Product Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Based on 12 Customer Reviews)
Botanical Name: Cinnamomum Camphora
Plant Part: Twigs and Bark
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled
Origin: China
Description: Ho wood Essential Oil is extracted using steam distillation of crude Camphor resin.
Color: Pale yellow to yellow liquid.
Common Uses: Ho Wood Essential Oil has recently been used as a replacement for Rosewood Essential Oil because of their similar chemical properties. It has many similar applications and is considered both stimulating and relaxing to the mind. Ho Wood is also reported to have anti-depressant, anti-microbial, anti-septic, aphrodisiac, and bactericidal properties. There are also claims that it can play a role as a cellular stimulant, cephalic, and tissue regenerator. Ho Wood is also commonly broken down by its aromatic components for resale.
Consistency: Thin
Note: Middle
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: Bergamot, Lavender, Geranium, Sandalwood and Cedarwood.
Aromatic Scent: Ho Wood Essential Oil has a woody, floral scent that has sweet and camphoraceous notes.
History: Ho Wood became popular in Taiwan during the 1900’s as a linalool rich product from the Camphor tree. Locally it was referred to as Shiu oil. It didn't gain commercial popularity until approximately 1985 when a major explosion at a Linalool producing facility greatly decreased available supply making Ho Wood a natural replacement.
Cautions: This product is to be avoided during pregnancy, and should not be used on sensitive skin as it is a possible dermal irritant.

This EO is a bit sharp, and the camphoraceous notes definitely stand out. I don't smell the floral notes, and it's not sweet to me. Overall, while not unpleasant, it's not one of my favorites for aromatic applications, and it's a possible dermal irritant, so only its therapeutic properties would be of much interest to me.

Delightful. A soft, almost powdery, slightly sweet wood. I ordered 5ml of it, and after smelling it, I wish I'd ordered the 100ml bottle!

This is a really interesting oil. It is less assertively woody than amyris or cedarwood. It has a sweet note that softens the overall fragrance. But it's by no means weak, bland, or overtly "feminine." I used it in a patchouli blend for CP soap and it did not get lost amidst the other essential oils. I look forward to soaping it alone as well.

Ho Wood has a wonderful fruity-wood smell. It mixes with almost every other oil that I use, and my clients love it. Thanks!

This oil smells so sweet, it's reminds me of geranium bourbon or roman chamomile. I think it's going to mix really well with a lot of oils.

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.

Great stuff - I'm back for a larger bottle. Blends well with all the wood and citrus types; perks up bland, overly sweet smells and tones down the overly pungent ones. I have only used this in blends so far, but I could really enjoy this on its own. I "rinsed" the empty bottle with carrier oil and added a little diluted cedar atlas and sandalwood for my own little "wish I was a carpenter" blend. What can I say, I like the wood oils!

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.

I ordered this one because the 1/6 oz was so affordable and I have always wanted to experience this little heard of oil. It is a very complex scent, that is almost a sweet woody to my nose. It is slightly medicinal and is strangly familiar. Try it in the smallest size, it is worth experiencing.

Very similar to Rosewood in chemical composition but produced from a renewable resource. The green alternative for the caring person. Best used for acne, dermatitis, frigidity, general skin care, headaches, immune system stimulation, infections, nausea, scars, sensitive skin, stress, tension, wounds, wrinkles. This one is priced right and very good quality.
