Cedar essential oil (Cedrus atlantica wood oil*) has a warm, woody, and sweet olfactory profile, with a pleasantly earthy and balsamic aroma. We use essential oils to add fragrance to products, but also for their cosmetic properties. We use cedar essential oil in products intended for combination, oily, or acne-prone skin, as it has astringent and antiseptic properties.
Obtaining Cedar Essential Oil
Cedar essential oil is obtained from the steam distillation of cedar wood (Cedrus atlantica), a tree native to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco.
