Extraction

Cade essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of tar previously obtained through the destructive distillation of fruits and twigs; it appears as a brown liquid with a penetrating, woody, smoky, dry aroma that instantly recalls the smell of leather or birch tar.

Property

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).
It has long been 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.
It blends well with the essential oils of birch, cinnamon leaves, clove, mastic, nutmeg, oregano, mountain pine, styrax, tea tree, red thyme, and wintergreen.

Uses

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 soaps, with woody-spicy and leathery fragrances.
The relevant technical and safety documentation for the product is available upon request.

Botany

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.
