Cedarwood oil, classified under terpenes and terpenoids, is a natural essential oil derived from the wood of cedar trees, primarily from species like Cedrus atlantica and Juniperus virginiana. It is characterized by its warm, woody aroma, which is often used in perfumery, aromatherapy, and as a natural insect repellent. The primary components of cedarwood oil include sesquiterpenes such as cedrol and thujopsene, which contribute to its distinctive scent and therapeutic properties. Cedarwood oil exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and calming effects, making it popular in holistic health practices. Additionally, it is known for its fixative properties in fragrance formulations, enhancing the longevity of scents. The oil is typically pale yellow to amber in color and has a viscous consistency. Its applications extend beyond cosmetics to include use in woodworking, as a natural preservative, and in various industrial processes. Safety considerations include potential skin sensitization, so it is advisable to use it diluted and with caution in topical applications.
