Virginian Cedarwood Essential Oil 10 ml

Virginian Cedarwood Essential Oil — a warm, woody aroma that freshens rooms and creates a calm, focused atmosphere.

Virginian ‘cedar’ is actually a juniper — Juniperus virginiana. Strictly speaking it isn’t a true cedar: as the botanical name suggests, it belongs to the juniper genus within the cypress family (Cupressaceae). The oil is obtained from the needles, leaves, bark and berries of the tree.

In aromatherapy, cedarwood oil is valued for a scent that deodorises rooms and supports focus — lovely at your desk or in the evening for a quiet wind-down before bed. Insects aren’t fond of its aroma, either. In skincare, at a low concentration, it lends creams, body oils and shampoos a warm, woody note.

How to use cedarwood essential oil

• in a diffuser or oil burner — at your desk or in the bedroom in the evening,
• as a home freshener — a few drops on a wooden disc or a sachet in the wardrobe,
• in hair care — a drop in a portion of shampoo,
• in skincare — a drop in a portion of cream or body oil,
• for massage — diluted in a carrier oil for an evening unwind.

Volume: 10 ml.

Caution
Do not ingest. Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin and patch test first: apply a drop of diluted oil to the inner forearm — if any reaction appears within 24 hours, do not use on skin. Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical care, consult your doctor. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
