The "Small Print" on Cedarwood Essential Oil
Avoid using this oil if you are pregnant. Also, Cedarwood oil may cause skin irritation in people who have sensitive skin. Like any essential oil, follow the guidance of your alternative health care practitioner or aroma therapist before using this fragrance.
In addition, Texas cedarwood contains a natural substance that can form crystals in the oil. If this happens, warm the bottle slightly until the crystals dissolve.
