Botanical name :
Cedrus deodara (Lamb.) G.Don
Botanical profile :
Himalayan cedarwood belongs to the Cedrus (Trew.) genus and to the deodara species.
Cedrus (Trew.) genus includes many of the trees used in perfumery, though not all of them !
Chemotypes :
Today, approx. 600 different conifer species have been identified worlwide.
The genus Cedrus (Trew.) includes around 9 species and only 4 of which are used in perfumery:
Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carrière: Atlas Cedarwood EO, rich in himachalene and containing only a low proportion of cedrene (~2%).
Cedrus deodara (Lamb.) G.Don: Himalayan Cedarwood EO.
Cedrus libani G.Don: Lebanese Cedarwood EO.
Cedrus brevifolia Holmboe: Cypriot Cedarwood EO.
Be careful, many other essential oils are named as ''cedar '' in perfumery but they actually derives from different botanical genus:
Virginia Cedarwood EO (Juniperus virginiana L.) is, in fact, a juniper.
Chinese Cedarwood EO / Chinese Cedar Leaf EO (Cupressus funebris Endl.) and Alaska Cedarwood EO / Branch EO (Xanthocyparis nootkatensis (D.Don) Farjon & Harder) are actually cypress trees.
Extraction process :
Himalayan cedarwood (Cedrus deodara (Lamb.) G.Don) is a native species from eastern Himalayan (India, Pakistan, Népal).
The tree is harvested at the end of its life cycle, between 80 and 100 years, then pruned and processed into dust. The oil is obtained through hydrodistillation.
It is possible to find some SFE extract (Cedarwoood Himalaya SFE) or some oil from the needles (Cedarwood Himalaya Needles oil)
Other comments :
Some essential oils undergo rectification processes to enhance their concentration in key molecules like Atlantone or Himachalene. The resulting materials are known as “Perfumery Grade Oils” or “Super Rectified Oils.”
Stability :
Very stable product in all kind of application
Regulations & IFRA
Allergens :
This product does not contain allergens.
IFRA 51th :
This ingredient is restricted by the 51th amendment
Annexe I :
Some regulated synthetic ingredients are found in nature and in certain proportions in natural ingredients. This presence in nature has to be taken into account when calculating limits of use recommended by the IFRA. In case you do not know these concentrations, you can use the ones estimated by the IFRA.
