Bulk Cedarwood Orders
We happily fill bulk orders for true cedarwood oil, from small studio batches to full drum quantities. Every size, 0.5 oz through 400 lbs, is held to the same standard, and formulators, makers, and resellers are always welcome.
Add a few drops of true cedarwood oil to your diffuser alongside vetiver or lavender for a warm, woodsy ambiance that settles a room without leaning sweet or floral.
Tuck a few drops onto a wooden sachet or cotton ball and set it into drawers and closets, where cedarwood's dry, woody scent lingers for weeks between refreshes.
Cedarwood's dry, balsamic base note anchors handmade soaps and candles long after lighter top notes fade, giving finished projects a steady, woodworking-shop warmth.
Cedarwood essential oil is a concentrated botanical material meant for external use only. Dilute to 0.5 to 2 percent in a carrier oil before applying to skin, and always patch test first. Keep away from eyes, children, and pets, avoid internal use, and store the bottle in a cool, dark place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your cedarwood oil pure? ▾
Yes. Our true cedarwood oil is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, distilled from Cedrus atlantica with nothing added. Every batch is backed by our published Certificate of Analysis, so you can see exactly what's in the bottle before you buy.
Is this the same as Virginia cedarwood oil? ▾
No. Ours is distilled from Cedrus atlantica, the Atlas cedar, a genuine cedar species rather than a juniper or cypress relative. Most cedarwood on the market actually comes from junipers or cypresses, which lack the sweet, slightly animalic warmth true cedar carries.
What does true cedarwood oil smell like? ▾
It's dry, woody, and warmly sweet, with a balsamic depth that reads more mountain forest than lumberyard. As a tenacious base note, it deepens blends built around bergamot, lavender, vetiver, and rose, holding steady long after brighter top notes fade.
How do I dilute cedarwood oil for skin use? ▾
Combine true cedarwood oil with a carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond at 0.5 to 2 percent, roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Patch test on a small area first, and keep the diluted blend away from eyes.
What sizes do you offer, and can I buy wholesale? ▾
We offer ten sizes of true cedarwood oil, from a 0.5 oz sample bottle up to 400 lb drums, so hobbyists, formulators, and resellers can all buy at the scale they need.
Does buying a larger size save money per ounce? ▾
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases across our ten cedarwood oil sizes, and our largest 400 lb drum works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest 0.5 oz bottle.
Do bulk orders come with lab documentation? ▾
Yes, every size we sell, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis. If you need anything further for your bulk order, contact us before placing it and we'll do our best to help.
Which size should I start with? ▾
The 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is a good starter size for diffusing and small DIY projects. Regular users making soap or beard oil often move to 4 or 8 oz, while formulators buying routinely choose the 5 lb or larger sizes.
How fast do orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a bit of extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, so you'll get tracking information as soon as your order ships.
Why is cedarwood used as a fixative in perfumery? ▾
Cedarwood's dry, balsamic base note is unusually tenacious, meaning it evaporates far slower than lighter top and middle notes. That staying power lets it anchor a blend and slow the fade of brighter oils like bergamot or lavender, which is why perfumers and soap makers alike lean on it as a fixative.
