essential oil

Penofin natural wood oil provides the finishing touch for Nagle’s trademark custom sunscreens that “become an extension of the residence, but work to control the sun penetration,” Nagle explains. The Brazilian Rosewood oil penetrates wood, hardening and protecting individual fibers. Because the sunscreen on Nagle’s own home “forms an outdoor room and completes the composition of the structure,” he specs Penofin in a natural finish to maintain the wood’s original hues.
