Cedrus atlantica is a subspecies of the Lebanon cedar, and was found originally in the Atlas mountains of North Africa, where it serves to create a natural habitat for a number of endangered species. Our cedarwood essential oil is steam-distilled from the wood of cedar grown in Morocco.

Common Uses

Cedarwood essential oil is excellent for stress or to improve the appearance of dry or irritated skin. Diffuse or apply topically in a 2-10% dilution. Cedarwood can also be used to revitalize cedar chests that have lost their scent. Clean and dry exposed wood, then sand, brush, and buff the wood with cedarwood essential oil on a soft cloth for a beautiful finish and lasting scent.
