Pure cedarwood essential oil (Cedrus atlantica) — steam distilled from the wood chips and bark of the Atlas cedar tree. With its rich, warm, woody and balsamic aroma — subtly reminiscent of sandalwood but notably drier — cedarwood is one of the oldest and most revered essential oils in the world, used in temples and sacred traditions for millennia.
In aromatherapy, cedarwood is celebrated for its calming and grounding effect on the mind. It is a popular choice for meditation blends, helping to quiet mental chatter and promote a sense of peace and focus. Its expectorant properties make it valuable in inhalation blends to ease excess mucus production during colds and respiratory congestion. Applied to the skin, it acts as an astringent and helps balance sebum production — making it useful for oily and combination skin types, and effective in scalp blends to reduce dandruff and support healthy hair growth.
