Handcraft Blends Organic Cedarwood Essential Oil is a USDA Organic, steam-distilled oil made from Cedrus atlantica, commonly known as Atlas Cedar. Sourced from Morocco, it has a concentrated woody and earthy aroma for diffusers, fragrance blends, soaps, candles, and properly diluted skin, hair, scalp, body, and massage-oil formulas.
USDA Organic Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil
This organic cedarwood oil offers a dry, warm wood character with earthy and subtly resinous nuances. Its substantial aroma can form the base of a fragrance composition or add contrast to lighter citrus, floral, and herbal notes.
Handcraft Blends packages the oil in an amber glass bottle with a dropper for controlled measuring. Begin with a small amount and adjust gradually because concentrated cedarwood can quickly become the dominant note.

How to Use Organic Cedarwood Essential Oil
For a diffuser: Add approximately 3–5 drops per 100 mL of water, or follow the instructions supplied with the device. Allow the aroma to disperse before increasing the amount.
For scent blending: Pair Organic Cedarwood Essential Oil with bergamot or lemon for citrus contrast, lavender or clary sage for an herbal-floral layer, or frankincense, patchouli, and sandalwood for a deeper wood-and-resin composition.
For soap and candles: Follow the selected base supplier’s compatibility, temperature, and usage-rate guidance. Prepare a small test batch because heating, curing, wax, and soap chemistry can change the final aroma.
Organic Cedarwood Oil for Hair, Scalp & Body Blends
Dilute the essential oil in jojoba, sweet almond, fractionated coconut, or another compatible carrier oil before topical use. Handcraft Blends lists up to 2%, approximately 6–12 drops per 1 fl oz (30 mL) of carrier oil, as a general guideline. Drop sizes vary, so formulators should calculate by weight and follow current IFRA guidance.
For hair care, add an appropriately measured amount to a single-use portion of shampoo or conditioner, or incorporate it into a properly diluted pre-wash scalp oil. These applications provide cedarwood aroma and a conditioned cosmetic feel without implying hair-growth or medical benefits.
Organic vs. Standard Handcraft Blends Cedarwood Oil
The organic and standard products differ in more than certification. This USDA Organic version is Cedrus atlantica, or Atlas Cedar, sourced from Morocco. The standard Handcraft Blends Cedarwood Essential Oil is listed as Cupressus funebris sourced from China.
Because they come from different botanical species, their aromatic profiles should not be treated as identical. Choose the organic version for USDA Organic Atlas Cedar oil; choose the standard version when its specific Cupressus funebris profile better suits the intended project.
