The science

Cedarwood essential oil is a substance derived from the needles, leaves, bark, and berries of cedar trees. This essential oil can be extracted via several techniques, including steam distillation, carbon dioxide distillation, and cold pressing. While it can be used on its own, it’s also used as an ingredient in products.
