What the heck is Hinoki?!
Hinoki isn't just another pretty plant – this essential oil distilled from the bark of the Japanese cypress tree is a powerhouse of relaxing benefits waiting to be discovered. Hinoki oil is packed with properties known for calming and antimicrobial effects. Several scientific studies have shown that inhaling the scent of Hinoki can lower heart rate, increase parasympathetic nervous activity, and increase feelings of relaxation. Additionally, Hinoki helps banish bacteria and calm inflammation—she’s a superstar for anyone seeking to destress with a luxurious, sensorial, spa-like experience.
Now, let's talk about exfoliation. Exfoliating is like hitting the reset button for your skin, and our new Hinoki Body Scrub is here to do just that. This scrub combines the magical, mystical powers of Hinoki with natural exfoliants to gently slough away dead skin cells, leaving you smooth, refreshed, and radiant. The woodsy notes of Hinoki and Cedar are followed by the scent of fresh bergamot, and the lingering spiciness of Pink Peppercorn rounds out the aromatherapy journey. Organic Cane Sugar provides gentle exfoliation to reveal silky smooth skin. The deeply nourishing blend of Coconut oil, Mango and Aloe butter, and vitamin-E packed Meadowfoam will leave your skin visibly moisturized while French Sea Clay provides natural detoxification. It’s like a mini-vacation for your skin every time you use it.
When the boutique hotel, The Celestine, approached us to create a custom amenity, we focused our energy on the inspiring, rich history and elegance of the hotel as well as its vibrant location. Nestled in the bustling French Quarter, the rooms surround the lush, green, tropical courtyard which inspired the color of the product itself. The aroma presents as fresh, grounding and approachable, but a bit mysterious—designed to evoke joy and wonder. This collaborative and exclusive product will make your shower experience one to remember, and keep you coming back for more.
We’re all about harnessing nature’s best to bring you skincare that’s both luxurious and beneficial. Our Hinoki Body Scrub isn’t just a product; it’s an experience. So go ahead, treat yourself, and let the grounding, invigorating Hinoki work its magic on your journey to soft, supple skin.
