EUCALYPTUS ESSENTIAL OIL

Eucalyptus Blue Gum Essential Oil – Organic Overview

Ingredients: Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
This a beautiful, classic, sweet Eucalyptus Blue Gum Essential Oil with refreshing top notes. The number relates to the oils 1,8-Cineole content, a key active in the Eucalyptus family.

Cineole levels range from 45-95% across Eucalyptus varieties with 60-65 and 80-85 variants being most popular due to their blend of activity and aromatic profile. This aroma chemical is found in at least 200 essential oils and is also a major component of Cajput, Sage (white), Rosemary and some Lavender oils.

Cineole has some antioxidant activity and it has also been found to be a skin penetration enhancer which may be interesting in anti-ageing formulations but is something to be more mindful of for formulations targeting people with very sensitive skin.

Cineole has some antimicrobial properties and is useful as part of a natural antimicrobial preparation although it is unlikely to be able to act as a cosmetic preservative.

Extraction Method: steam distilled.

The Tea Tree is a small tree or shrub with needle-like leaves. It is also domestically referred to as Ti-Tree. It can grow up to 7 meters (20 feet) in height and thrives in marshy areas, though it is now cultivated in plantations. The aboriginal people of Australia have long used Tea tree Oil. Historically, the leaves were used as a substitute for tea, which is how it got its name. In World War II, the producers and the cutters of Tea Tree were exempt from military service until enough essential oil had been accumulated to accommodate the military’s needs. Tea Tree is very robust and is ready for cutting only two years after its previous harvest. As Essential Oils have become more accepted by the public, the use of Tea Tree Oil has increased significantly. This is readily seen in the commercial products now using Tea Tree, although this grade is best used for therapeutic applications. This is one of the very few Essential Oils that can be applied to the skin ‘neat’, or without dilution, at a maximum rate of 3 drops.

Cautions: Dilute before use; for external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended prior to use. Contact with eyes should be avoided.
