FunctionBotanical extract

What it is — Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract (INCI of the same name), from the hinoki cypress, is a plant-derived, soothing botanical valued in scalp care.

What it does — It is commonly used to help soothe and comfort the skin and scalp and to lend a fresh, woody botanical character.

Typical use — It appears in scalp tonics, hair products, calming toners, essences and masks as a supporting botanical.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen for comfort-focused routines. As an aromatic conifer botanical, composition varies by harvest and such extracts occasionally trigger sensitivity in reactive users.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a generally well-tolerated botanical extract. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if you have plant sensitivities.
