Description

Cedarwood Oil is a natural essential oil derived from the wood of various cedar tree species, primarily valued for its distinctive woody, balsamic aroma and its inherent fixative and preservative properties. Its complex composition of sesquiterpenes makes it a versatile and sought-after ingredient in fragrance creation and functional formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy industries, as well as for industrial applications requiring natural repellents or preservatives. We supply high-purity Cedarwood Oil CAS NO 8000-27-9 to meet the stringent demands of global B2B clients.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: A core base note and fixative in fine perfumes, soaps, detergents, and personal care products for its long-lasting woody character.
• Cosmetics & Toiletries: Used in formulations for lotions, creams, and aftershaves for its aromatic and potential skin-conditioning benefits.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Employed in diffuser blends, massage oils, and candles for its grounding, calming scent profile.
• Industrial & Functional Uses: Acts as a natural insect repellent in mothballs and pet care products, and as a wood preservative in certain applications.
• Flavoring Agent: Used in minute quantities to impart woody notes in certain food and beverage flavor formulations (where food-grade quality is specified).
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a starting material for the isolation and synthesis of specific sesquiterpene compounds.

Quality Control

Our Cedarwood Oil is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including Gas Chromatography (GC) for composition, optical rotation, refractive index, and specific gravity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical parameters. Our quality commitment aligns with industry standards for natural essential oils, and we can support compliance requirements for various market applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F - 77°F). This product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere); therefore, containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and prevent volatilization or degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
