Cedar oil: important features and value
The main valuable products of cedar are bark, resin, needles and nut kernels. Today there are many medicines and cosmetics that contain pine nut oil. Using cedar oil on the face not only rejuvenates it, but also provides a long-lasting healing effect. Cedar oil is also produced as an independent product for use for a variety of purposes.
As is known, there are no analogues to cedar oil in nature in terms of the content of amino acids, microelements, and beneficial cosmetic and healing properties. The oil is made from nut kernels by primary cold pressing. Various groups of products are made from certain parts of the tree:
- balms (resin with essential oil);
- essential oil (wood extract product);
- cedar oil (nut kernels);
- products with extracts of cedar products for various purposes.
Cedar oil for the face is of great value in cosmetology. All components of the oil are indispensable for ensuring proper regenerative processes in the skin structure, restoration at the cellular level, adequate nutrition and rejuvenation. The amber color of the oil is due to the high content of nitrogenous components (about 10%), which belong to the main amino acids:
- linoleic acid (almost 58%);
- linolenic acid (about 20%);
- oleic (up to 14%).
There are no analogues to cedar oil in nature in terms of the content of amino acids, microelements, beneficial cosmetic and healing properties.
In addition to amino acids, the oil is enriched with phosphorus, calcium, manganese, vitamins A, B, D. Another feature of the facial oil is the optimal ratio of all components in the composition . In dermatology and medical cosmetology, the antibacterial properties of cedar oil are highly valued. Thanks to this, it is possible to alleviate the patient’s condition with chronic skin diseases (eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis), heal acne, pimples, scratches, allergies and inflammation.
Advice! The use of pine nut oil for the face can be combined with aromatherapy. The aroma of cedar resin and esters restores the emotional background, has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, relieves severe stress and any emotional tension.
How do you get it?
Pure cedar oil is obtained directly from the kernels of the Siberian cedar pine. Pre-cleaned nut kernels are well dried and divided into fractions. It is important to correctly sort the kernels by color and quality. Next, the most optimal method of obtaining oil is selected: thermal or cold. When using the second method, a larger number of useful microelements remain unchanged. Despite the high cost of cold pressing, it is most often used.
With the thermal method, most of the beneficial properties are lost. The oil obtained in this way is used in cooking, but is in no way used for cosmetic purposes.

- activates cellular regeneration processes;
