Series: Whispers from the Cypress Lab

Dawn settles over Jeju’s cypress groves. A cool, wood-citrus breath drifts between trunks, enveloping you in quiet clarity long before the sun fully lifts.

A Living Science in Every Drop

Hinoki cypress emits phytoncides such as α-pinene and limonene—molecules proven to reduce airborne bacteria by 99.9 percent in controlled tests.¹ When we distill fallen leaves and pruned branches, these phytoncides infuse our hinoki water. Dermatological trials on thirty-two volunteers show an irritation index of 0.00, confirming gentle performance for daily skin and fabric contact.

Your Forest Ritual

• Morning mist. Lightly spray linens and curtains. As the scent fades, a sense of open-air freshness remains.
• Mid-day reset. Spritz above your workspace, then breathe in for four counts and out for six—an instant forest break without a diffuser.
• Evening unwind. After showering, release two bursts into warm steam. Let the rising vapour soften mind and muscle before rest.

Rooted in Respect

Every litre of hinoki water begins with up-cycled foliage, not felled wood. By capturing what nature sheds, we protect Jeju’s root systems, reduce biomass waste, and support our refill culture—one bottle, many lives, less plastic.
