Oriental Thuja Essential Oil for Forest Fragrances, Spa and Natural Products
Oriental Thuja Essential Oil is obtained through steam distillation of the foliage and young branches of Platycladus orientalis. This botanical aromatic ingredient has a fresh forest-inspired profile combining coniferous notes, green vegetation, dry woods, and soft resinous nuances.
In the Mylo Opt assortment, the product is available in the Essential Oils category. Oriental Thuja Essential Oil is used by manufacturers of cosmetics, soap, candles, perfumes, and home fragrance products where a natural coniferous character is required.
