The same upcycled Jeju hinoki cypress water that anchors the Hand Balm is the first ingredient here, ahead of plain water, ahead of the cleansers. Coconut-derived surfactants lift dirt and oil from the skin without stripping it; glycerin draws moisture back in as you rinse. The scent is natural: hinoki water and hinoki oil, cool and faintly woody, quiet on the hands once they dry. No artificial fragrance, no colorant. Antibacterial and low irritation, tested across skin types. Gentle enough for frequent daily washing. 450mL, with a refill available.

Key Ingredients: Jeju hinoki cypress water, coco-glucoside, lauryl betaine, glycerin, hinoki cypress oil
Free of: Artificial fragrance, sulfates, colorants
Certifications: PETA Vegan, pH-balanced
Size: 450mL / 15.2 fl oz
Made in Korea

hinok (희녹, meaning "ever-green") is a Jeju-origin brand built on a single material principle: use what the forest lets go. Rather than starting with a formula and sourcing ingredients to fit it, hinok began with the island itself, working with the leaves and branches shed each year when Jeju's Hinoki Cypress forests are pruned for their health. The cypress grows in volcanic basalt and salt-carried wind, conditions found only on Jeju, and releases phytoncides, the same aromatic compounds that have drawn people to forest bathing, or sallimyok, for generations.

Branches pruned from roughly thirty-year-old trees in Ara-dong are steam-distilled with the Jeju Resource Plant Research Institute, and what remains afterward is composted back into the forest it came from. No trees are harmed, and nothing is wasted. That water, disclosed on every label and refillable across the line, carries into home and personal care formulas free of artificial fragrance, sulfates, and unnecessary plastic, letting the forest, rather than any added scent, define the brand.
