Question 1

What is the difference between Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus radiata?

Accepted Answer

This product is Eucalyptus globulus, with a high 1,8-cineole content and an intense, respiratory-cooling aroma. Eucalyptus radiata is a milder, softer-scented alternative with a lower cineole level, often recommended for more sensitive use. Both species are steam-distilled but offer distinct aroma and application profiles.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml eucalyptus essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Eucalyptus globulus oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile and may reduce the cineole content.

Question 3

Can this eucalyptus essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Essential oils are generally diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 1-3% concentration for skin preparations. For sensitive skin, a patch test on the inner elbow is recommended. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional; oils high in cineole should be avoided near the face of small children.
