Desert Cedar Essential Oil Blend

Desert Cedar Story

Spend a night sleeping under the stars in the Mojave Desert or Eastern Sierra, and you may wake up with frost on your sleeping bag, the air crisp and cold. But as the sun crests the horizon and falls on the red bark and small, deep green leaves of the surrounding junipers and cedars, the air is perfumed with a sharp and sweet scent. Redolent of warm leather and desert varnish–a sun-baked mixture of resin, minerals, and clay–this fragrance is at the heart of our love song to this arid landscape: Desert Cedar essential oil.

A blend of sustainably and wild harvested conifers from eastern and southern California deserts.

HOW TO USE

Juniper Ridge essential oils can be used in all types of diffusers. Use a few drops in your bath or shower. The pure plant essential oils can be added to unscented lotions or cosmetics, or mix a few drops with organic almond or jojoba oil for an all-natural fragrance and moisturizer.

Caution: For external use only. Never use essential oils undiluted. Dilute in water for diffusing or carrier oil for use on the skin. Always perform a small patch test, as some essential oils may cause irritation. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid eyes and mucous membranes. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or suffering from a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. Flammable. Keep away from fire or flame.

About Juniper Ridge

Juniper Ridge began in 1998 when founder Hall Newbegin started selling his small batch, wild-harvested products at the Berkeley Farmers' Market. Hall built Juniper Ridge into a classic west coast home and body care brand. His goal was to share the restorative fragrances of the plants and trees he encountered backpacking throughout the western United States through our products. He learned to encapsulate how he felt in those wild places and bring that wild back into our everyday lives. 

Today, Juniper Ridge is a small, family-owned company of thirteen people based on the O2 Artists Aggregate, a sustainable eco-industrial lot in Oakland, California. From this home base, our diverse, committed team formulates, manufactures, and ships home and body care offerings worldwide.
