Cedarwood Essential Oil
Warm Wood. Soft Resin. Quiet Depth.
Cedarwood Essential Oil, Cedrus atlantica, is steam distilled from the wood of the cedar tree. Its aroma is warm, woody, and softly balsamic with a dry, slightly resinous depth that gives it a calm, steady presence.
In blends, cedarwood adds depth and a steady, grounding character. It pairs well with citrus, florals, and spices, creating a warm, balanced, natural scent.
Skin Care Benefits
In skincare, cedarwood essential oil helps the skin feel more balanced—especially when it appears oily—promoting clearer looking skin and improving the overall look of the complexion.
When used in a massage oil, it creates a soothing, warm feeling that brings a sense of ease and relaxation after a tiring day.
In hair care, cedarwood essential oil helps the scalp feel more balanced—less oily in some areas, less dry in others—while leaving hair looking soft, full, and easier to manage.
