Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil (Atlas Cedarwood Bark Oil)

Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil is an aromatic essential oil, typically obtained by steam distillation of the bark/wood material from Cedrus atlantica (Atlas cedar). In cosmetic formulations, it is used primarily as a perfuming ingredient, delivering a dry, woody-balsamic note that adds depth and warmth to fragrance profiles while enhancing overall sensoriality. It is also valued in botanical blends for its skin- and scalp-conditioning support, helping promote a fresher, more balanced feel—particularly in oily-skin or scalp-focused concepts. Commonly used at low concentrations, it appears in deodorants, soaps, body washes, aftershaves, scalp treatments, shampoos, and fragrance-led skincare. As with many essential oils, it contains naturally occurring fragrance allergens, so it is typically formulated in line with applicable IFRA guidance, especially for leave-on products and sensitive skin.
