About

Hiba wood water from a Japanese cypress relative containing thujopsene with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Thujopsis dolabrata (hiba false cypress or asunaro) wood water is a steam distillate from a Japanese conifer related to thuja species, containing thujopsene, thujopsadiene, and other characteristic sesquiterpenes. The ingredient is used in traditional Japanese cosmetics for its aromatic and skin-conditioning properties. Limited specific toxicological data exists for this ingredient. Like other cupressaceae family steam distillates, it may contain compounds requiring IFRA allergen declaration. It is not specifically restricted under EU Regulation 1223/2009, though formulators should monitor for thujone-related compound content.
