< fir tree unique to Hokkaido>
Todo pine, a tree species that represents the forests of Hokkaido. Todomatsu is a member of the fir tree family, and in Japan it grows wild in Hokkaido and is also planted. Since it is a fir tree unique to Hokkaido, we named its scent "Hokkaido fir ®".
When producing Hokkaido fir essential oil, Hokkaido fir water is obtained together.
● Birch Birch lotion with a faint sweet scent recommended for dry skin
Birch water has a faintly sweet scent and is especially recommended for those who want to moisturize their skin.
< white bark is beautiful and useful birch>
Birch can be seen at relatively high altitudes in Honshu and other regions, but it is often seen in lowlands in Hokkaido, which has a high latitude. Birch is one of the tree species called "pioneer plants" that grows first when other trees fall down and a bright place is formed in the forest. Bark and sap are used as effective ingredients for skin care.
In Shimokawa Town, there is no forest where only birch is planted, but when the birch that grows naturally in the forest is cut down, its branches and leaves can be distilled. In the case of birch branches and leaves, the essential oil is not harvested enough to be recovered, so it is mainly used as aromatic distilled water.
● Ezo mugwort Mugwort lotion recommended for skin that is concerned about rough skin and troubles
Ezo mugwort water has a grassy scent full of wild taste, and is recommended for those who are concerned about rough skin and troubles.
<Hokkaido herb Ezo mugwort>
Mugwort is said to be the queen of herbs, and it has been often used in folk medicine since ancient times due to its high medicinal properties. Hokkaido's mugwort grows in height after budding in spring, and by the time it blooms in August, it can grow to the height of a person. Mugwort growing in plantations blocks sunlight from the seedlings, so they are cut every year until the seedlings are large.
In the Hupu Forest, distillation is carried out once a year in August, when the flowers are present. Mugwort essential oil is obtained only in small quantities, so it is not sold as a stand-alone oil, but is used in the fragrance spray "Creekside Cabin".
■ What is aromatic distilled water?
Aromatic distilled water is scented water that is obtained when distilling plant materials to make essential oils, and it is safe to use on the skin because water-soluble plant components are dissolved and has a milder effect than essential oils.
