Cedarwood oil

Steam Distillation: Cedarwood oil is extracted from the wood of cedar trees, such as the Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica) or the Himalayan cedar (Cedrus deodara). The wood undergoes steam distillation, where the steam carries the volatile compounds from the wood. The steam is then condensed, separating the essential oil from the water.

Wood Products: Cedarwood oil is commonly used in the production of wood products such as furniture, flooring, and cedar chests due to its natural insect-repellent properties. It helps protect wood from damage caused by insects and decay.
Fragrance Industry: Cedarwood oil is utilized in the fragrance industry for its warm, woody, and earthy aroma. It is often used as a base note in perfumes, colognes, and aromatic products like incense and candles.
Cosmetics: Cedarwood oil is added to skincare and haircare products for its astringent and clarifying properties. It can help balance oily skin and scalp, making it suitable for products like facial cleansers and shampoos.
