Description

The Story

Also known as Atlantic, African or Moroccan cedar, the Atlas cedar is called the 'gentle giant': it grows up to 140 feet tall, with blue-green needles and cone-shaped fruit. Both gentle and strong, it has been grown across North Africa and the Middle East for centuries.

Benefits

• Mind — A warm, steady scent that helps ease stress and tension and brings a sense of inner calm, security and focus, especially in times of change.
• Meditation — Deeply grounding; a favourite for meditation and mindfulness blends.
• Skin & Hair — Purifying in diluted blends; helps oily, congested and dull-looking skin look clearer and more balanced.
• Massage & Breathing — Like other conifer oils, it feels clearing and comforting in massage blends and steam.
• Natural Perfume — A classic base note and fixative in men's colognes, and lovely in women's blends too.

How to Use

Diffuse on its own, or add a few drops to a carrier oil for massage. Always dilute before applying to skin.
