Description
Eucalyptus essential oil is obtained by water steam distillation of Eucalyptus globulus leaves. This is a shrub native to southeastern Australia, however, today its cultivation is widely spread throughout the world. Its predominant aromatic molecule is 1,8-cineole, in a 75% minimum percentage. We also find traces of limonene and para-cymene, which in conjunction with 1,8-cineole give the essential oil of eucalyptus globulus its organoleptic properties. Eucalyptus oil is a 100% natural product.
