Essential oils are made up largely of terpenes, which in turn are composed of 5-carbon units of isoprene. The name terpene is derived from the name turpentine, a major component of the well-known plant resins. The most common terpenes in eastern redcedar are alpha-cedrene and thujopsene. Cedrol, an terpene alcohol, is also a common component of redcedar oil. Those three components alone make up about 70% of redcedar oil.
Not all cedar (or cedarwood) oil is the same. Cedar oil is produced from three different families of trees; Juniperus, Thuja and Cedrus. As a side note, the oils of Thuja species are often called cedar leaf oil, as it is extracted from branches and foliage. Among these families, the oils vary considerably in the kind and amount of chemical components. In the United States, oils produced from junipers are often classified as either Virginia cedarwood oil or Texas cedarwood oil. The former is produced from eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) and the latter from Ashe juniper (J. ashei).
