Series: Whispers from the Cypress Lab

Steam rises as hinoki water condenses—pure, pale, and quietly aromatic. You watch it gather in glass, a promise of care stripped of anything unnecessary.

Clarity, Bottled

Before a Hinok formula reaches you, it passes ten toxicology screens and a human patch test. In the latest evaluation, thirty-two volunteers recorded an irritation index of 0.00 while the formula remained free of 23 commonly flagged additives—parabens, phthalates, synthetic dyes, and more.¹ Our PETA-verified vegan status confirms that each choice respects skin, animals, and the wider ecosystem.

Your Clean Ritual

• Read the label. All ingredients appear in plain English and INCI; nothing is hidden behind “fragrance” or “proprietary blend.”
• Trust the batch code. Each bottle carries a lot number you can trace back to Jeju harvest dates and lab certificates.
• Refill, then reuse. When the last drop leaves your bottle, slide in a lightweight pouch refill—less plastic, same certified calm.
• Feel the finish. Notice how the scent recedes quickly; that’s deliberate. We omit lingering synthetics so only comfort remains.

Designed for Longevity

Our core ingredient—up-cycled Jeju hinoki foliage—begins life as pruning waste. Partnering with rePurpose Global, we offset every gram of plastic we use, and our Long-Life Service guarantees key components for five years. Clean isn’t a trend; it’s an agreement to tread softly, bottle after bottle.
