Cedarwood is a pyramid-shaped, towering evergreen tree that may reach 131 feet in height. The wood itself is hard and extremely scented due to the essential oil it contains, which is extracted by steam distillation. Linen chests, which originated in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, were commonly made of Cedar. The ancient Egyptians valued the oil, mostly for embalming but also for cosmetics and fragrance, and Solomon's Temple was constructed of Cedar Wood. Cedar is commonly used to make closet liners and accessories, and the oil is also utilized in commercial soaps, cosmetics, and fragrances, particularly men's colognes.
Our Cedarwood Atlas essential oil comes from a sustainable source.
