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.
