Cedarwood Himalayan
Wildcrafted Essential Oil, 10 ml
Botanical Name: Cedrus deodara
Origin: India
Part of Plant: Wood
Extraction: Steam Distillation
Description & Scent Profile:
Steam-distilled from the fragrant heartwood of Himalayan Cedrus deodara trees, Himalayan Cedarwood essential oil offers a rich, warm, balsamic-woody aroma with subtle smoky, sweet, and tobacco-like undertones. Naturally rich in Himachalenes and Atlantones, this ancient botanical is revered in natural hair care, grooming, and grounding aromatics. Highly valued in scalp treatments, beard oils, firming body scrubs, and closet-freshening sachets, Himalayan Cedarwood conditions hair follicles, refines skin texture, neutralizes stale odours, and surrounds the senses with a deeply stabilizing, centring, and calming forest atmosphere.
Key Botanical, Cosmetic & Mindful Benefits:
Lustrous Scalp & Hair Care: Nourishes the scalp, balances surface oiliness, and clarifies hair follicles to help reduce dry flaking and promote thick, healthy-looking hair.
Firming & Toning Body Care: Ideal for use in dry-brushing routines and body scrubs to smooth skin surface texture, refine contours, and leave skin feeling firm and refreshed.
Grounding & Centring Aromatherapy: Softens daily mental fatigue and burnout, eases nervous stress, and creates a tranquil, steadying environment for meditation and relaxation.
Woodsy Grooming & Natural Fabric Care: Conditions coarse beard hair, adds a sophisticated smoky-woody base note to custom natural perfumes, and serves as an aromatic booster to keep linen closets smelling fresh.
Best Ways to Experience:
Revitalizing Scalp & Hair Oil: Mix 3 drops of Himalayan Cedarwood and 2 drops of Rosemary into 1 tablespoon of Jojoba or Argan oil. Massage thoroughly into the scalp 20 minutes before shampooing to cleanse hair follicles and soothe dry flaking.
Firming Citrus-Cedar Body Scrub: Combine 4 drops of Himalayan Cedarwood, 3 drops of Pink Grapefruit, and 2 drops of Rose Geranium with 1/2 cup of fine Sea Salt and 1/4 cup of Sweet Almond oil. Gently polish damp skin in the shower for a smooth, firm finish.
Conditioning Woodsy Beard Oil: Pre-mix 2 drops of Himalayan Cedarwood and 2 drops of Bergamot into 15 ml of Jojoba oil. Work through clean facial hair and skin after showering to hydrate skin and soften hair.
Centring Meditative Room Diffusion: Add 4–6 drops to your ultrasonic diffuser alongside Highland Lavender or Sweet Orange to foster a quiet, clearheaded, and emotionally grounded home environment.
Aromatherapist's Tip: Himalayan Cedarwood's warm, rich Himachalene content gives it a softer, sweeter wood aroma than Virginian Cedarwood. It acts as an exceptional fixative in natural perfumery, anchoring lighter citrus and floral top notes for hours!
