Cedarwood oil

CAS: 8000-27-9

Overview

Cedarwood oil (CAS 8000-27-9 ), also known as Cedrus atlantica bark oil, is a natural essential oil steam-distilled from cedarwood. It functions as a fragrance base, fixative, and antimicrobial agent across personal care, pharmaceutical, and agricultural formulations.

In cosmetics and personal care, it anchors woody fragrance profiles in perfumes, soaps, and hair care products, where its fixative properties extend scent longevity. Pharmaceutical and topical formulations use it as a biocidal and preservative component.

This oil is particularly effective in preparations targeting scalp conditions and skin care products. In agriculture, it serves as an active ingredient in natural pesticide and insect-repellent formulations, offering a botanical alternative to synthetic actives.

Fragrance compounders also blend it into candles, diffuser oils, and household products requiring warm, woody base notes. Cedarwood oil is supplied as a pale yellow to amber liquid in drum, IBC, and bulk quantities for industrial use.

It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with quality assessed against standard essential oil benchmarks including ISO and BP monographs. These standards ensure the purity and consistency of the oil for various applications.

Natural and certified organic variants are available for formulators targeting clean-label or natural product positioning. This versatility makes it a staple ingredient for manufacturers seeking high-quality botanical extracts for their product lines.
