Organic Ingredients

100% white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) essential oil.

“Studding the scaly leaves and small branchlets are tear-shaped glands just visible to the naked eye.
These track the upper and underside of the fronds like tiny footprints.
With the aid of a hand lens, the glands can be clearly seen.
They appear to hold one small teardrop of light yellow essential oil that has an opaque appearance.
Injury with a thumbnail to this gland releases a strong and pleasant odor of sage mixed with camphor and a touch of lavender.
This is the essential oil of white cedar. It is part but not all of the tree’s living pharmacopeia.”
