Extraction

Cedar essential oil is obtained by cold pressing the fresh peels and appears as a clear yellow-greenish liquid with a fresh citrus scent, typically citric but slightly richer than the more common lemon essential oil.

Property

Cedarwood essential oil, completely non-toxic, like lemon, is known in aromatherapy for its refreshing and antidepressant properties. It is an excellent remedy for acne, eczema, insect bites, calluses, and cold sores. When applying it to the skin, avoid sunlight, as it is phototoxic. Like lemon, cedarwood is considered a true "cure-all" in several southern European countries.
It blends well with the essential oils of bergamot, sweet calamus, cypress, juniper, rosewood, frankincense, neroli, rosemary, clary sage, ylang-ylang, and vetiver.

Uses

Cedarwood essential oil is widely used in pharmacies and perfumeries as a flavoring agent. It is also a widely used raw material in the food and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage industries.
The relevant technical and safety documentation for the product is available upon request.

Botany

Native to Southeast Asia, the citron is cultivated primarily in Calabria, the Middle East, India, Indonesia, the USA, and Australia. Also known as "Citro", it is a small tree up to four meters tall, with smooth, oval leaves up to twenty centimeters long and fragrant white flowers.
The fruit of this tree, traditionally associated with nobility, is mostly oval in shape and grows up to thirty centimeters in size with a characteristically thick, wrinkled rind; initially green, it turns yellow as it ripens.
