What makes Ho Wood oil interesting?
1. Relaxing and soothing aroma
Linalool is also a well-known component of lavender essential oil. Its aroma has been studied in relation to relaxation, anxiety, and stress responses. Ho Wood oil is well-suited for creating a calm atmosphere.
2. Skincare
The components of Ho Wood oil—rich in linalool—have been studied for their potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Excellent for massage oils
The warm, floral, and slightly woody aroma of Ho Wood makes it a great choice for scenting massage oils. This is one of the most practical ways to use it.
Chemical Composition
The linalool content in Ho Wood oil can be very high:
- Linalool: often around 90–99%.
- Small amounts of linalool oxides, terpenes, and other aromatic compounds may be present.
- In the linalool chemotype, the camphor content is generally low.
How to Use:
For Aromatherapy
Use moderately in a diffuser, following the device's instructions. Suitable, for example, for evening relaxation.
For Massage
When creating a blend for adult skin, you might start with a 0.5% dilution—for instance, about one drop of essential oil per 10 ml of carrier oil (drop size may vary).
For Skincare
Use only in a diluted form, and always test on a small area of skin first.
Safety Information
Linalool can oxidize when exposed to air and light; oxidized linalool is more likely to cause skin hypersensitivity and allergies. Keep the bottle tightly closed, stored in a cool place, and protected from light. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes, and do not ingest the oil.
