More about the Brand Owner

KAYOKO SAWADA

We, Hikobayu, pursue the well-being of the mind and body through the essential oil of Todo pine, which is born from abundant nature. Drawing on her experience as a nurse, she is working to create products that make the most of the blessings of nature while valuing the preciousness of life. Our oil is extracted from the branches and leaves of the Todo pine tree that remain after logging, and we support sustainability while managing forests. This provides value beyond mere fragrance and is also recommended in a soothing sauna scene. We hope that you will incorporate it into your daily life as a scent that promotes relaxation and refreshment and balances your mind and body. In addition, under the slogan of "Linking forests and people," we are also developing tree education activities, providing opportunities to deepen our connection with nature through fieldwork and distillation experiences. Enjoy the experience of healing your mind and body while feeling the scent of Hokkaido's cool forest. We look forward to your interest.

Why are we doing?

We want to give back to nature through sustainable forestry and the effective use of materials.
　
When I was working as a nurse, I saw many patients who died with a declining quality of life, even if their lives were saved by medical care, and I wondered if medical care was really the only way to save lives. I wanted to learn about life and nature, so I moved to Niseko as a member of the Community Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers.
　
In modern Japan forestry, a method called "clear-cutting" is used to cut down all the trees in the forest plot. However, in this way, the multifaceted functions of the forest are lost once and for all. Knowing the reality of the forestry world, which has declined due to the liberalization of timber imports and other factors, and has become helpless, I decided to "give back to the future of nature by directly practicing forest management."
　
As part of this effort, Hikobayu was started by a married couple. The idea was to make essential oil from the leaves of the Todo pine, which had been discarded as unused forest wood.
　
　

What are we doing?

　
Extracting essential oil that is effective in preventing hay fever from the branches and leaves of Todo pine, which is a waste wood
　
Todo pine is a coniferous tree distributed in Hokkaido, the South Kuril Islands and Sakhalin, and is suitable for the extraction of essential oils. In addition, its refreshing scent is full of Hokkaido-ness.
　
Our essential oil production begins with going to the mountains to collect leaves. We purchase the branches and leaves that have been discarded until now, which remain after the felling of the Japanese pines, from forestry companies or procure them from the forests we manage. After putting it through a crusher at home factory, it is extracted in a distillation machine for about two hours. In this way, only the part that was extracted at the beginning is used to make the product only extra-grade essential oils.
Before completing the product, we repeated prototyping using a distillation machine at home. After repeated trial and error in terms of temperature and distillation time, we brought the essential oil of Todo pine, which was finished in the ideal scent, to Kumamoto University and had the active ingredients analyzed. In this way, Hikobayu's Todomatsu essential oil was completed in 2018.
　
The following year, a leading researcher on Todomatsu published the results of a study showing that Todomatsu essential oil is effective in preventing hay fever, and the name and efficacy of Todomatsu essential oil spread throughout the country. It is said that pollen becomes 10,000 times more violent when it combines with harmful chemicals such as exhaust gas, but it has been revealed that the scent component of Todo pine acts on pollen and reduces the susceptibility of antigen-antibody reactions.
　
　
Partly because of this, we began to receive inquiries from all over the country. With the establishment of a new factory, we are now able to produce quantities that can be sold to the general public, and in addition to our original essential oils, we have also started to develop essential oil blends using genuine lavender and eucalyptus. Since Niseko has many tourists from overseas, we have finished it with an image blend that is easy for people outside Japan to pick up, such as "Powder Wave" and "Onsensepa".

A 100% natural essential oil that condenses the "forest air component" of Nisekoto domatsu, which grows naturally in the midst of severe cold and beautiful nature. Extra grade of the highest quality.

Ethereal Fir has been found to have extremely strong air purification, deodorization, forest bathing effect, and detoxification of pollen allergens.
POWDER WAVE ETHEREAL HARMONY 10ml
　
　
Ethereal Harmony is a lineup of scents from the HIKOBAYU Signature Blend, which is inspired by moments and landscapes found in nature and blended with Todo pine essential oil.
　
　
In POWDER WAVE, the fusion of peppermint, lavender, and todo pine expresses powder snow and joy in the winter mountains at the same time. The other blends are also distinctive, and the todo pine complements the other scents and creates a good harmony.

In addition, we have received the following impressions from users.
　
・I don't like strong scents, but I like the fact that they disappear in a good way because they are made only with natural ingredients. (Todo pine essential oil)
・ I suffer from hay fever all year round, but the symptoms have decreased since I started using it. (Todo pine essential oil)
・ In my life of telework, I was really healed and helped by Hikobayu's candles. Thank you very much. (Todomatsu Organic Candle)
・ Since it has a soft scent, it does not interfere with meals. The lights are dimmed on special nights to accompany the wine. (Todomatsu Organic Candle)
