Description
Springfields Cedarwood is a 100 per cent pure, certified organic essential oil steam distilled from the stem wood of the atlas cedar, Cedrus atlantica. The aroma is dry, warm and softly sweet, woody with a balsamic depth to it. It is a base note, which means it is the slowest part of a blend to evaporate and the part that gives everything above it something to sit on. It is commonly used in skin and hair care blends for the skin and the scalp. The 10 mL amber bottle is an aromatherapy and home fragrance product, not a medicine.
Product Strengths
- Cedarwood is traditionally used in aromatherapy as a grounding, settling wood note.
- Certified organic: the oil is sold as a certified organic pure essential oil.
- True atlas cedar: Cedrus atlantica is a genuine cedar of the pine family, not the Virginian juniper that is also sold under the name cedarwood. The two smell quite different and the label here is specific.
- A proper base note: a small amount anchors a blend and slows the whole thing down, which is why it is a workhorse in perfumery as well as aromatherapy.
- A long standing choice in skin and hair blends.
- Wide blending range: bergamot, Roman chamomile, clary sage, cypress, frankincense, geranium, grapefruit, juniper, lavender, marjoram, orange, neroli, palmarosa, petitgrain, rosemary, sandalwood and ylang ylang.
Suitable For / Not Suitable For
Suitable for: General household use.
Not suitable for: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless advised by a health professional.
Botanical Source
Botanical name: Cedrus atlantica, the atlas cedar, native to the Atlas mountains of North Africa.
Plant part: the stem wood.
Extraction method: steam distillation.
Certification: certified organic, per both the Springfields listing and the Woolworths label transcription.
Country of origin: not declared for this oil.
How to Use
- Diffuser: add around 6 drops to the water of an ultrasonic diffuser. A base note diffuses slowly, so it lingers longer than a citrus will.
- Massage or body blend: mix around 6 drops into 12mL of base oil or unscented jojoba cream.
- Hair and scalp blend: a few drops stirred through a carrier oil or an unscented conditioner, which is the use Springfields themselves highlight.
- Bath: mix around 6 drops with 6 drops of dispersant before adding to warm water. This oil must not be used undiluted in baths.
- Dilution: for adult skin contact, dilute to 1 to 3 per cent in a carrier oil. As a guide, 1 per cent is roughly 1 drop per 5mL of carrier.
Safety
- Not for internal use unless under the supervision of a suitably qualified practitioner. Springfields state: do not take internally.
- Always dilute in a carrier oil before skin contact, at 1 to 3 per cent for adults. Springfields warn it may irritate sensitive skin.
- Do not use undiluted in baths. This is a specific published warning for this oil.
- Patch test first. Apply the diluted blend to a small area of inner forearm and leave 24 hours before wider use. Discontinue if a rash or irritation develops.
- Keep away from the eyes and all mucous membranes, and do not use on broken or damaged skin.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets. No pregnancy precaution is published for this oil, and it is not among the oils the standard aromatherapy references single out for pregnancy avoidance, but if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with a qualified practitioner before use.
- Flammable. Keep away from naked flame, candles, heaters and other ignition sources.
Storage
Store tightly capped in the original amber glass bottle, upright, in a cool, dark, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep away from plastics and polished surfaces, because undiluted essential oil can mark them.
Disclaimer
This is a pure essential oil sold for aromatherapy and home fragrance use. It is not a therapeutic good and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. For external use only after dilution. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. This information is general in nature and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare practitioner.
