Cajeput Essential Oil 50ml Steam Distilled

Clean, green and camphoraceous, this cajeput essential oil brings a crisp, eucalyptus-like brightness to aromatherapy blends and home fragrance rituals. It is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca cajuputi, sourced from Indonesia, with a sharp herbal character that feels clear, brisk and purposeful.

Cajeput's crisp herbal character

• The first impression is fresh and penetrating, with a cool, camphoraceous lift.
• Its scent sits close to eucalyptus and tea tree, but with a slightly softer green edge.
• A little goes a long way in blends, especially when you want a clean, airy feeling in the room.
• It suits simple aromatherapy rituals, diffuser blends, and careful dilution for topical use.
• The amber-toned bottle and black ribbed cap give it a practical apothecary look on a shelf.

Steam distilled from Indonesian Melaleuca

This oil comes from Melaleuca cajuputi, using the leaves and twigs of the plant. Steam distillation is a traditional method for capturing aromatic compounds from botanical material, carrying the plant's fresh, volatile scent into the finished oil without the heaviness of a pressed or infused oil.

In botanical and aromatic tradition

Cajeput belongs to the wider Melaleuca family, a group of aromatic trees and shrubs known for strong, clean herbal scents. In aromatherapy and natural fragrance practice, cajeput is often chosen for its brisk, clarifying aroma and its affinity with other green, resinous or camphoraceous oils. Its character makes it especially useful when a blend needs a sharper top note rather than sweetness, warmth or floral softness.

How to use it with care

Use a few drops in an aroma diffuser, following your diffuser's own guidance. For skin use, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil and patch test first.

Avoid using essential oils undiluted on the skin. Seek professional guidance before use during pregnancy, with young children, or around pets, especially cats and dogs. Store closed, upright, and away from heat and direct light.
