Hinokitiol is a naturally occurring tropolone compound found in the heartwood of trees such as Chamaecyparis obtusa and Thuja plicata. It is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a minimum purity of 98% by HPLC.
Buyers source Hinokitiol for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial and metal-chelating properties. It is used in personal care, oral care, and pharmaceutical formulations. The material is available in kilogram to multi-kilogram quantities with short lead times.
Formulators incorporate Hinokitiol into antimicrobial hand soaps, deodorants, and acne treatments, where it remains active at low concentrations. In oral care, it is added to toothpaste and mouthwash to reduce plaque-forming bacteria. Pharmaceutical applications include topical creams and ointments for skin infections.
