DESCRIPTION
Cedar Leaf (Thuja) Essential Oil, often referred to as Eastern White Cedar or Tree of Life, possesses a sharp, fresh, camphoraceous aroma that sets it apart from the warm, woody scent of Cedarwood Oil. Sourced from the Thuja occidentalis trees that grow near freshwater, this oil has a distinctive profile, widely used in perfumes, toiletries, cosmetics, and soaps for its invigorating fragrance.
