Organic Cedarwood Essential Oil

Our organic cedarwood essential oil is steam distilled from the bark of the blue cedar tree (Cedrus atlantica). This type of cedar tree is native to the Atlas mountain region but cultivated widely for use in gardens. Cedarwood oil has been used spiritually for centuries and is incredibly calming. It’s known to be an effective antifungal, antiseptic, diuretic, insecticide, and anti-inflammatory. Aromatically, cedarwood oil is rich, sweet, and woody.

Cedarwood is excellent for purifying the air, cleansing skin, and hair, and deodorizing. Use cedarwood oil on its own or as a blend to create your sprays, tonics, and oils.

Cedarwood oil is considered non-toxic, but we want to ensure that basic precautions are taken: never ingest essential oils, always dilute them, and use caution if pregnant or nursing. ArOmis’ organic cedarwood essential oil is certified organic in South Africa. We do our best to support sustainable farming in the spirit of fair trade and environmental stewardship.  

By using African oils grown in tropical and subtropical regions, we encourage local farmers to use less land more wisely and to preserve the indigenous forests.  Use ArOmis’ organic essential oils every day as a non-toxic, effective addition to your wellness and home cleaning routines.
