CEDARWOOD ATLAS

Cedrus Atlantica

Cedarwood is one of the earliest essential oils cultivated for therapeutic use. Early Egyptians used it in cosmetics, as an insect repellant, and as part of their embalming practices. This beautiful cedar tree, from which cedarwood atlas comes, is native to Morocco and can live to be 2,000 years old if left untampered by humans.
