Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus citriodora is steam distilled from the leaves, and ours comes from Madagascar and South Africa, certified organic, organically grown, or wildcrafted depending on the harvest. The aroma is fresh, lemony, and lightly camphoraceous.

What makes this oil so distinctive is citronellal, an aldehyde that runs high here: typically 69-88% in our batches. Citronellal is the reason lemon-scented eucalyptus is such a favorite for natural insect repellency. Alongside it you'll find monoterpenols, mostly citronellol (about 3-9%) with isopulegol close behind. Citronellol is loved for being anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and gentle on skin, and this oil is also valued for its antispasmodic, antimicrobial, and calming character.

Every batch we bring in is independently GC-MS tested, and each batch's full report lives right here on this page so you can see the chemistry for yourself.
