Juniper tar

Wood and coal tar are described in detail in Sect.E.L These tars are irritants but contact allergic reactions do occur. Van Andel et al. (1974) found 9% of 650 persons tested positive to wood tar 7% reacted to coal tar. Many showed crossreactions to balsam of Peru, colophony, and turpentine. By repeated testing of 33 tar reactors, only 20 were positive to wood tar. Juniper tar was the most active. The majority of patch test reactions to tars are irritant reactions as indicated by Rothenborg and Hjorth (1968).

The source of cade oil is Juniperus oxycedrus or prickly cedar, a shrub or small tree native to the Mediterranean region, which grows up to about 4 m in height. The volatile oil (cade oil) is obtained by destructive distillation of the branches and wood, usually in the form of shavings or chips. The resultant distillate separates into three layers of which the uppermost dark brown viscous layer is cade oil. Rectified cade oil (the vapor of juniper tar) is obtained by steam or vacuum distillation of crude cade oil.
