CEDRELA ODORATA WOOD EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data CAS 93062-64-7 / PERFUMING

Cedrela Odorata Wood Extract is derived from the wood of the Cedrela Odorata tree. Primarily recognized for its distinct aromatic profile, traditional applications hint at its potential for addressing minor skin eruptions, though direct topical research on the extract is limited.

Summary

Fragrance agent Skin conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract contains sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, which are believed to impart its characteristic fragrance. While other cedarwood types and Cedrela odorata leaf/bark extracts have shown properties such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiseptic, and astringent effects, the precise mechanisms by which the Cedrela Odorata Wood Extract directly influences skin physiology are not extensively detailed in scientific literature. Its primary utility in cosmetic formulations is olfactory.
