Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil

Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil

Eucalyptus radiata

Eucalyptus radiata is steam distilled from the leaves of a tree in the Myrtaceae family. Our batches come from Australia, Eswatini, and South Africa, from certified organic, organically grown, and wildcrafted plants. The aroma is fresh and camphoraceous, a clear top note.

This oil leads with the oxide 1,8-cineole, typically 65-73% in our batches. That's the molecule most often turned to for respiratory comfort and clear breathing, and it also contributes antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Behind it sit the monoterpenol α-terpineol (typically 8-13%) and limonene (typically 3-7%), which round out that cool, clarifying character people love in eucalyptus.

Every batch we bring in is independently GC-MS tested, and the full report for each one lives right here on this page. You can see exactly what's in the bottle before you open it.

Batch EUR-121 comes from certified organic Eucalyptus radiata grown in South Africa and steam distilled from the leaves in January 2026. The aroma is bright and clean, softer and rounder than many eucalyptus oils, with a fresh camphoraceous lift and a faintly sweet finish. GC-MS analysis of this batch identified 31 components. It leads with 1,8-cineole at 62.22 percent, followed by alpha-terpineol at 12.32 percent and limonene at 7.44 percent. Oxides dominate the profile and are associated with clear, open, invigorating breathing space, while the monoterpenol fraction at just over 17 percent lends a gentle, skin-friendly character that supports everyday comfort in diffusion and diluted topical blends. This exact batch was independently GC-MS tested. The full report and certificate of analysis are available to download here, so you can see precisely what is in the bottle you are using.
