Organic Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Part of our Ingredient Glossary — educational information about raw materials we may use in our products. We don't sell raw ingredients.
Lemon Eucalyptus is one of the most powerful and functional aromas in our apothecary. The scent is an intense, sharp burst of lemon, but it's grounded by a cool, medicinal, camphor-like note from its eucalyptus heritage. It's a smell that signals pure, potent, cleansing power.
Its primary and most famous use is as an effective natural insect repellent. The remarkably high concentration of citronellal in the oil is what makes it so effective at keeping biting insects at bay. It's our top choice and the key ingredient for our outdoor body sprays and summer-focused products.
Beyond its power outdoors, it's also a fantastic purifier. Its strong, clean scent is wonderful for deodorizing a room, and its natural antimicrobial properties help to cleanse the air. A few drops in a diffuser can make a whole room feel cleaner and fresher.
Our organic Lemon Eucalyptus is sourced from India. It's a bold, no-nonsense oil that we use for its sheer effectiveness. It's a perfect example of a simple botanical providing a powerful, practical solution.
