Juniper Tar

Cade, also known as Juniper Tar or prickly juniper, is native to the Mediterranean. Rectified cade oil is obtained by steam distillation of the crude oil produced by destructive distillation of the wood.

According to Tisserand and Young, crude (unrectified) cade oil is potentially carcinogenic due to benzo[a]pyrene and should never be used; only the rectified grade is acceptable.

Harvesting & Extraction

Rectified Cade oil is produced by steam distilling (rectifying) the crude cade obtained from destructive distillation of the wood, removing the hazardous polycyclic fraction present in crude cade. Learn more about how we work on our distillation of essential oil page.
