Ho wood oil, known as cinnamomum camphora linalooliferum, comes from the camphor tree, which is an evergreen part of the Lauraceae family. The tree is typically native to various countries within South East Asia, while also found in Australia, Africa and Madagascar. Growing in abundance, the tree offers sustainability as the crop is plentiful and its growth is even considered invasive in some regions.

Ho wood is steam distilled from the bark and wood of the tree, producing an essential oil with a woody, sweet, herbaceous scent. The structure consists primarily of linalool, with a small percentage of sesquiterpenes, mono terpenes, oxides, and esters. Ho wood is considered one of the most potent sources of naturally occurring linalool found in any steam distilled essential oil.
This oil is extremely high in calming linalool and is excellent for promoting a peaceful and relaxing environment. Ho Wood has a woody, floral, and camphorous scent. Its aroma and properties are very similar to Rosewood Oil, which as a threatened species, should be avoided. The camphor content in Ho Wood Oil results in a cooling feeling when used topically.

While ho wood is a relatively new and little-known oil within the vast spectrum of essential oils on the market, its actions are similar to rosewood, and offer exemplary benefits in its own right.
