Yakusugi Essential Oil is extracted from the buried remains of Yakusugi trees native to the pristine forests of Yakushima Island, a World Heritage site. The oil is distilled from raw materials such as Yakusugi stumps and root stocks which remain free of decay, even after 200-300 years.
The essential oil contains casinene and mulolen as its main components and the fragrance evokes the feeling of bathing amongst a beautiful forest with the scent of the wilderness.
