Botanical Origin

Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) is a tree native to Australia and widely cultivated in different regions.

Its leaves and young branches contain aromatic compounds responsible for its characteristic scent. The plant has long been used in its native region and is now widely utilized across various industries.

Extraction

This oil is obtained through steam distillation of eucalyptus leaves and twigs.

During distillation, heat releases volatile aromatic compounds present in the plant material. These vapors condense after cooling to form essential oil.

Leaf-derived oils such as eucalyptus typically produce fresh, camphorous, and highly diffusive aromatic profiles.

Composition

Eucalyptus essential oil contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds including:

• 1,8-cineole
• α-pinene
• limonene
• globulol

These compounds contribute to the oil’s cooling, camphorous aroma and clean character.

Natural variation in composition may occur depending on plant source and distillation conditions.
