High-Volume Linalool-Rich Wood Oil for Fragrance and Cosmetic Manufacturing
Ho wood essential oil is steam-distilled from the wood of the camphor tree, grown mainly in China and Vietnam, and is valued primarily for its high linalool content — a natural aromatic alcohol with a soft woody-floral character. This compound makes the oil a sought-after raw material in the fragrance industry, where it serves as a more affordable alternative to costly Brazilian rosewood oil, and it is also used in household chemical production, candle scenting, and soap making, where linalool acts as a natural fixative and scent modifier. This 1 liter packaging belongs to the category Essential Oils and is intended for manufacturing plants, laboratories, and production workshops that need a stable supply volume without frequent reordering.
In cosmetic manufacturing, ho wood oil is added to creams, lotions, shampoos, and body care products at the cooling stage of the emulsion, at temperatures not exceeding 35-40 degrees Celsius, to preserve its volatile aromatic fractions. Standard dosage in finished formulations ranges from 0.3 to 1.5 percent of total mass, depending on desired scent intensity and function — whether as a fragrance component or an additional antimicrobial agent. The oil has notable antimicrobial properties, which is why it is sometimes included in formulations for blemish-prone skin and hair care products, where it works alongside other ingredients without overpowering their effect.
In perfume composition, ho wood oil plays a role in the heart and base notes, lending softness and a light camphor-like freshness. It blends well with citrus and floral notes and combines harmoniously with other linalool-rich and woody oils. For instance, interesting blends emerge when combined with Siamese wood essential oil, which adds warmth and a subtle sweetness, or with Xo tree essential oil, similar in profile but with a different balance of aromatic fractions. For a deeper, resinous base, perfumers often add guaiac tree essential oil, which reinforces the woody character of a composition and extends fragrance longevity on skin or in candles.
For industrial production, it is important to note that ho wood oil is sensitive to direct sunlight and elevated temperatures, so it should be stored in tightly sealed dark glass or metal containers, in a cool room at temperatures not exceeding 20-25 degrees, away from heat sources and open flame. When storage conditions are respected, the oil retains its aromatic and functional properties over a long period, making the 1 liter format economically practical for facilities with continuous production cycles for cosmetics, candles, or household chemical goods. Its compatibility with most vegetable oils, waxes, and emulsifiers allows it to be used across a wide range of formulation groups without risking instability of the finished product.
