Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil – Cedrus atlantica

"Warm, woody and quietly grounding, Cedarwood Atlas is treasured for for its calming aroma and its ability to bring a reassuring sense of strength, balance and stillness."

What is Cedarwood Atlas?

Cedarwood Atlas essential oil is steam distilled from the wood and heartwood of Cedrus atlantica, a majestic evergreen tree native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

Unlike many lighter, fresher essential oils, Cedarwood has a rich, woody aroma with subtle balsamic notes that evoke ancient forests and mountain air. For generations, it has been valued in traditional aromatherapy for promoting relaxation, emotional resilience and a sense of grounding during times of stress.

Its naturally cleansing and balancing properties also make it a popular ingredient in skincare and haircare, particularly for oily or combination skin and healthy-looking hair.

Why we love it

At Bloom Remedies, Cedarwood Atlas brings depth and warmth to many of our botanical blends, in particular our Serenity range for sleep and relaxation.

Its rich, comforting aroma encourages moments of calm and quiet reflection, making it particularly valuable when life feels busy or overwhelming. It also blends beautifully with floral and citrus oils, helping create fragrances that feel balanced, sophisticated and naturally restorative.

Perfect for...

• Encouraging feelings of calm and emotional balance
• Grounding busy or overwhelmed minds
• Relaxing evening wellbeing rituals
• Oily or combination skin
• Supporting healthy-looking hair and scalp

Why Marie chose it

"Cedarwood is one of those oils that brings warmth, depth and a feeling of being completely grounded. I often describe it as the oil that helps you feel rooted again. It pairs beautifully with ylang ylang for relaxation and offers inner strength for moments when you are feeling off balance"
