Cedarwood Oil

Khush Ingredients Cedarwood Oil is steam distilled from the roots and stumps of Cedrus doedara. It has a distinct woody odor and possesses epidermic and antiseptic properties. Because of this, Himalayan Cedarwood is used in a lot of soap fragrances. It is a different botanical species to Cedarwood Atlas (Cedrus atlantica), so it is not a substitute, but Himalayan Cedarwood and Cedarwood Atlas do have a lot of similarities.
