Natural ingredients can yield different effects based on the cultivation environment, pruning time, and processing methods. That's why we collaborate with various specialized institutions, with our own research center in Jeju at the forefront, to create our products. From the collection of upcycled Hinoki Cypress to the manufacturing process, all stages of production for THE SPRAY take place in Jeju.

Nurturing Growth through Pruning

In the dense forests, trees sometimes grow excessively, hindering each other's growth or causing nutrient imbalances within individual trees. To combat this, Hinok partners with "Jeju Plant Research Institute" to implement 'pruning practices,' ensuring a harmonious ecosystem. By sourcing naturally fallen Hinoki branches from these efforts, we sustainably supply our raw ingredients.

Ingredient Study and Our Extraction Method

To unlock the full potential of Hinoki, we conduct systematic research in our in-house laboratory nestled beneath the majestic Hallasan. Collaborating with DAEBONG LS, the Natural Materials Application Research Institute of Jeju", we execute comprehensive studies with each harvest, ensuring optimal efficacy. Our extraction process utilizes a gentle steam distillation method that only takes up for two hours, preserving the natural essence of the leaves and stems, without any additional chemical treatments.

Vegan-Certified Manufacturing at the Jeju Plant

As Hinoki Cypress Extract may contain natural impurities, we employ the Oxygen Refreshing technique, infusing oxygen from Jeju's pristine air into the extract. Conducted at our plant certified by Éve Vegan, a French certification specialized in the conformity of vegan products, this specialized process is free of chemicals and ensures a refreshing and clean Hinoki experience.

Back to our mother nature

After extracting Hinoki Cypress Extract, the remaining branches, leaves, and stems undergo fermentation and are reused as compost to enrich the forest soil.

A finish that leaves behind only freshness, without any lingering scent

Unlike artificial fragrances, naturally derived scents, such as those found in Hinoki Cypress Tree Extracts, have a very short duration. Upon spraying, THE SPRAY initially provides a sensation reminiscent of being in a forest; however, any undesirable odors dissipate along with it, as no additional artificial fragrances are added.

Scents that change with the seasons

Just like how the taste of fruits can vary depending on the time of harvest, the scent of Hinoki Cypress Tree Extracts also changes according to the time of collection. Hinoki Cypress Tree Extracts harvested in summer often have a woody scent, while those collected in winter exhibit a citrusy aroma. Experience the seasonal scents embraced by Hinoki Cypress Trees.

Hinok makes efforts to reduce disposable packaging and provide guarantee services to ensure long-term product usage.

Packaging with Recycled Materials

In order to reduce plastic usage, spray bottles are made using post-consumer recycled (PCR) PET materials. Additionally, paper cushioning is used instead of bubble wrap, and paper tape is used instead of vinyl tape, adhering to safe shipping practices and sustainable packaging for the Earth.

Less Plastic Life through Refills

All our products are designed for refillability, allowing you to use the same container for an extended period. After initial use, consider purchasing refill packs to reduce plastic usage.

Long Life Service

We believe that using good products for a long time is the most sustainable choice. Therefore, we offer a "Long Life Service" guaranteeing the spray trigger for approximately 5 years, as it is a part prone to wear and tear. If you experience any issues with the trigger, such as defects or malfunctions, please contact our consultants for prompt assistance.

Korea's pioneering Plastic Neutral brand certified by rePurpose Global

Hinok, committed to ongoing research for alternative materials to plastic, has received the first plastic neutral certification in Korea through a partnership with the world's leading plastic platform 'rePurpose Global'. This certification involves sponsoring an equivalent amount of plastic waste management as the amount of plastic used in production, thereby offsetting its environmental impact.
