Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus globulus (Labill.)
Why eucalyptus? Eucalyptus essential oil is exhilarating and has a fresh, penetrating, and woody aroma. It is an ideal oil to use in steams and invigorating homemade body scrubs, soaps, and bath salts. It is considered a top note with high aroma intensity.
Quality Assured: Our organic eucalyptus essential oil is responsibly sourced from Portugal. The oil is steam distilled from the leaves and young twigs of the eucalyptus tree. Every batch of oil is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and produced without the use of genetic engineering, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides. Additionally, our expert aromatherapists here at the Apothecary Shoppe personally assess all of our oils—using touch, taste, smell, and lab analyses—to ensure that your essential oil is suitable for use and entirely free of adulterants.
Independent third-party lab reports including GC/MS and pesticide testing results are available upon request. Please send a request to apothecary@achs.edu and include the essential oil Latin name and lot number; results include a comparative analysis with ISO and the Pharmacopeia when available.
