Ho Wood Essential Oil was previously used for sword and knife handles because it would not scratch the fine blades. It became more popular in 1985 when a major explosion at a Linalool-producing facility greatly decreased the available supply. This launched Ho Wood as a natural and sustainable replacement. Locally referred to as Shiu Oil in China, it is commonly used to extract its aromatic constituents.
Cautions: This product is for external use only; dilute before use. It may cause skin irritation in some individuals, so a skin test is recommended prior to use. Contact with the eyes should be avoided.
Storage: To maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life, oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping) should be transferred into dark glass containers.
