Extraction

Cedarwood essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of wood chips (or sawdust) and appears as an orange-yellow liquid with a typical "pencil wood" odor, dry, slightly balsamic.

Affinity

Cedarwood essential oil blends well with Benzoin absolute as well as the essential oils of Copaiba, Cypress, Juniper, Patchouli, Rose and Vetiver.

Property

North American Indians prepared decoctions of cedarwood leaves, twigs, and bark, which they used to treat a wide range of ailments. The essential oil of this plant, composed primarily of cedrene, is a valuable source of this active ingredient; non-toxic and non-irritating, it has excellent trichological properties (it counteracts oiliness in hair) and has also proven effective in treating acne. It is also a well-known insect repellent: well before the invention of DDT, for generations, the most effective mosquito preventative was an ointment prepared with cedarwood oil mixed with geranium essential oil and/or citronella essential oil. A diffuser is the best way to enjoy this beneficial effect.

Uses

Given its insect-repellent nature, cedarwood essential oil is widely used in the production of insecticide and moth-repellent sprays. It is also occasionally used in cosmetics and perfumery (composition of dry woody notes).

Botany

Also known as the "Virginia juniper", the cedar is native to North America (Rocky Mountain area). It is found in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains, where it grows wild in dense forests. It is an evergreen conifer that can reach thirty-three meters in height, with a sturdy trunk that can reach one and a half meters in diameter. It has a characteristic reddish heartwood and glaucous, needle-like leaves.
