Arborvitae Oil
The majestic arborvitae tree—also known as the western redcedar, Thuja plicata, and the tree of life—is native to Canada and the Northwestern US. Arborvitae essential oil captures the tree’s distinct, methyl thujate–rich chemical profile, providing a warm and earthy aroma that’s ideal for meditation. It’s also an effective cleaner for both the skin and household surfaces.
