sugi wood oil

Sugi wood oil, also known as Cryptomeria japonica wood oil or Japanese cedar wood oil, is an essential oil extracted from the wood of the sugi tree (Cryptomeria japonica). The oil is characterized by a distinctive woody and cedar-like aroma with a subtle peppery note. It appears as a natural fragrant extract typically utilized in perfumery and aroma compositions. Sugi wood oil is listed under its PubChem SID 135276370, linking it to established chemical database records. This oil is sourced by steam distillation or extraction from the timber of the sugi tree native to Japan, providing a valuable botanical fragrance ingredient used primarily in fragrance applications.

Sugi wood oil is naturally derived from the wood of the sugi tree, Cryptomeria japonica, which is native to Japan. This botanical source provides the oil with its characteristic woody and cedar scent profile. The fragrance applications of sugi wood oil include its use as a woody aroma component in various perfume and fragrance products. Its use as a flavor additive is not recommended according to IFRA (Global) standards. The oil's scent contributes floral and woody facets to compositions, enhancing complexity and depth. The European REACH regulation (EU) covers its use and safety assessments, ensuring compliance with chemical safety standards for fragrance materials.

Sugi wood oil exhibits solubility in alcohol solvents while remaining insoluble in water, which reflects its hydrophobic and lipophilic nature. This solubility profile influences its formulation compatibility, rendering it suitable for incorporation in alcohol-based fragrance products rather than aqueous systems. The oil’s physicochemical traits—such as its woody odor components and solubility characteristics—support its function as a fragrant extract rather than a flavoring agent. The absence of hazardous classifications according to OSHA HCS (US) suggests it has a benign safety profile under typical handling and usage conditions, though specific toxicity data remain undetermined.
