Ishpink’s Whisper: The Spirit of Ocotea Distilled

Ocotea quixos essential oil is obtained from the fragrant leaves and twigs of the Ishpink tree, sustainably gathered throughout the year. Steam distillation transforms these aromatic materials into a spicy, exotic oil.

Imagine green leaves and slender branches steaming softly, releasing their essence into aromatic vapor that condenses into liquid gold. From 1 ton of plant material, 2–5 kg of this rare treasure emerges.

Each drop contains cinnamaldehyde and sesquiterpenes, delivering a warm, cinnamon-like aroma prized for fostering emotional harmony, balance, and a sense of tranquility.

Ishpink’s Aromatic Legacy: Ecuador’s Hidden Gem

Endemic to Ecuador’s Amazonian foothills, Ocotea quixos flourishes in humid tropical forests with year-round rainfall. About 50,000 acres of this aromatic tree are sustainably harvested from natural and cultivated sources.

The production of Ishpink essential oil started in the 1990s. Ecuador leads in global supply, producing approximately 30 tons annually, with smaller contributions from neighboring countries in South America.

Treasured for its cinnamon-like aroma, Ishpink ranks highly in niche essential oils. It’s prized in perfumery and holistic practices for its warm, grounding scent and mood-enhancing qualities.
