Cedrus Atlantica
What Cedrus Atlantica is & what it does
Cedrus Atlantica refers to Atlas cedar, most often present as cedarwood oil or extract from the tree. In cosmetics it is used chiefly for its warm, woody aroma, serving a fragrance and aromatic role rather than a defined skincare active. Like other essential-oil-type botanicals, it contains aromatic compounds, so fragrance-sensitive users may prefer to avoid it. It is typically used at low levels in natural and aromatherapy-styled products.
