Where Does Cedarwood Come From?
United States
Cedarwood
Cedar trees grow globally, but we source Juniperus virginiana—eastern redcedar—from the
Southeastern United States for a superior chemical profile. The eastern redcedar is a dense,
slow-growing coniferous evergreen known as a pioneer species, because it’s the first to regrow
after an area has been damaged by fire, flooding, or even logging. Cedarwood essential oil is
steam-distilled from the byproduct scraps and sawdust of the lumber industry, limiting waste.
Why Cedarwood?
Cedarwood prominently features a chemical group called sesquiterpenes. Essential oils
that contain sesquiterpenes are known to provide a grounding, balancing aroma when used
aromatically. Along with cedrol, Cedarwood essential oil includes the sesquiterpene chemical
constituents cedrene and thujopsene, which help improve the appearance of your skin.
As a warm, woody essential oil, Cedarwood produces an aroma that’s reminiscent of
the outdoors.
