Description
Cedarwood Atlas has protective antifungal, astringent and antiseptic properties which make it a valuable addition to hair or skin care routines. It has a lovely sweet and woodsy aroma that is comforting and soothing. For those who suffer from anxiety and stress, it often has a calming, sedative effect. Cedarwood Atlas is said to contain properties that have made it a popular treatment for acne and eczema, to repel insects, ease coughing, to cleanse wounds, and more.
This is an easy oil to use in personal blends and goes well with many other essential oils. Because its scent doesn’t tend to dominate a blend, many use Cedarwood Atlas as a base they can add other oils to while they experiment and create new aromas that appeal to them. Cedarwood Atlas goes great with the vast majority of oils, including citrus oils like Bergamot or Orange, floral type oils such as Clary Sage, Jasmine, or Ylang Ylang, and woodsy oils like Juniper Berry or Cypress among many others.

We recommend to always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before topical or internal use (see internal use document). If applying an essential oil to your skin always perform a small patch test to an insensitive part of the body (If it is not already diluted, dilute with a carrier oil) If redness, itchiness, or inflammation occurs, discontinue use or use a greater dilution with a carrier oil.

Krissy This is a great multi use oil! I mix a little with coconut oil and use it as a hair mask. It really helps with hair fall!

Elle Edible, also can be used topically and aromatherapy. Be sure to dilute!

Adoxey Very strong last scent. Good quality oil as expected of Davina products. Blends well with other scents for diffuser recipes. It stays a long time once put onto skin. I put a couple of drops into hair for thickening and growth as I do with rosemary oul(which works wonders). The scent lingered for almost three maybe four days in my hair even after daily washings. As I said, very nice but strong scent.

Dawn We said WOW when we smelled it. This is a great cedarwood! I love all of the oils I have tried from this company.

Kathleen R. Very nice oil with the cedarwood scent I was looking for! (There are a number of different ones.) I use this for my skin and hair products and I add it to my nighttime pillow spray to help lull me to sleep. I really like this oil!

Laceann I like using this in my tea light incense bowl. It smells great!

Jane This stuff is incredible! I use it in my deodorant and other homemade skin care recipes I've come up with. I go through a bottle every 2 weeks. This is the highest quality brand I've found for all the oils, but I especially love the cedarwood. Very happy!

Marci H. First, I added this to a few other oils for a focus blend for my child and it was somewhat helpful although he did not enjoy smelling like essential oils! LOL second, i use it in a deodorant blend (in a roller diluted with fractioned coconut oil) that I make myself that works well; thirdly, I add it to coconut oil with some other EOs to use like a lotion to help my skin and 4, it smells good with several other oils in the diffuser for a cleansing and focusing atmosphere! I keep it on hand all the time!
