Cade essential oil, completely non-toxic and non-irritating, has antiseptic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antipruritic properties. However, it should be used with caution on the skin, as it can occasionally cause sensitization. It is therefore a good idea to always use it with a vegetable oil (such as sweet almond or sesame).
For a long time, it was one of the main natural remedies for treating eczema and dermatitis.
Ancient herbal tradition also considers this essential oil a remedy for dandruff and an excellent treatment for wounds and skin ulcers.

Cade essential oil is primarily used in pharmaceuticals as a solvent for active ingredients; more rarely, it is used as a fragrance component in perfumery, cosmetics, and soap making, with woody-spicy and leathery fragrances.

Native to southern France, the Cade is also known as "red juniper" or "thorny cedar".
It is an evergreen shrub with grayish bark that can grow to over five meters tall. It has long, dark needles and berries the size of hazelnuts, which, as they ripen, take on a typical reddish-brown color. It is a common species throughout most of Europe and North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia).
Tar extraction is mainly carried out in Spain and the Balkan Peninsula.
