Eucalyptus Essential Oil (Blue Mallee) – Pure, High-Cineole Essential Oil for Respiratory, Skincare & Aromatherapy Formulations

Our Eucalyptus Essential Oil (Blue Mallee) is steam distilled from the long, green, waxy leaves of the Blue Mallee tree growing wild in the forests of Australia. Renowned for its exceptionally high cineole (eucalyptol) content, this variety is considered one of the finest eucalyptus oils available globally.

Its aroma is fresh, cooling, and powerfully clarifying, softly camphoraceous with sweet green undertones. Traditionally used by Indigenous Australian communities for respiratory and wellness support, Eucalyptus Blue Mallee remains a cornerstone essential oil in modern aromatherapy, skincare, and functional formulations.

Beyond its invigorating scent, this oil is prized for its purifying, decongesting, and circulation supporting properties, making it a staple for both therapeutic and cosmetic applications.

Common Uses & Benefits

Eucalyptus Essential Oil is best known for its powerful respiratory support, making it especially effective in diffusers, steam inhalations, and chest rub formulations. It is often the oil of choice at the first sign of colds, congestion, or seasonal discomfort.

In skincare and topical formulations, its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it useful for products targeting blemishes, minor wounds, burns, eczema-prone skin, and insect-related irritation. It also supports circulation, helping to ease muscle tension, spasms, and minor aches.

Emotionally and aromatherapeutically, eucalyptus promotes mental clarity, alertness, and vitality, helping to cut through fatigue, brain fog, and emotional heaviness.
