Description
Eucalyptus essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus, sourced from Australia. It has a bright, penetrating, camphoraceous-green aroma, naturally rich in 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), and is a sharp, refreshing top note.
Its crisp, clearing aroma is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with refreshing the mind and sharpening focus, and it is a favourite in winter diffuser and steam blends and in natural household cleaning blends. It blends well with mint, herbs and citrus. It is a skin sensitiser and should never be used on or near the face of babies and young children.
- Bright, fresh, camphoraceous aroma
- Sharp top note that lifts and clears a blend
- Traditionally associated with refreshing the mind and sharpening focus
- Pairs well with peppermint, tea tree, lemon and rosemary
Blends well with: Basil, bergamot, cedarwood, clary sage, cypress, frankincense, lavender, lemon, lemongrass, marjoram, peppermint, pine, rosemary, tea tree and thyme
