Eucalyptus citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus)

$6.50 – $10.00

Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil does not possess the same camphor-like scent that Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus radiata are known for due to a differing constituent makeup.  It’s aroma is sweet like lemons and much like the familiar scent of citronella, but much softer and pleasing than citronella.

Lemon Eucalyptus contains approximately 80% citronellal, an aldehyde that is strongly responsible for its aroma, antimicrobial properties and insect repellent capabilities. It is energizing and uplifting.
