History and Background

Cajeput comes from an Indonesian word meaning "white wood". From the Myrtaceae family, Tea Tree and Cajeput are often confused with each other, but they are two distinct oils.

Cajeput contains higher concentrations of eucalyptol, limonene and alpha-terpineol. Tea tree contains more terpinen-4-ol and gamma-terpinene. In reality, Cajeput has properties similar to those found in Eucalyptus and Lemon.

Best known for its history as an antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral oil, Cajeput can be found in blends and applications concerning these issues. This oil is known to help coughs, laryngitis, bronchitis, and allergy sufferers feel better.

Local application of Cajeput is known to alleviate the feeling of aches and pains of arthritis and muscle cramping. With its purification properties, is often used in skin care.

Information for Aromatherapists

Cajeput Essential Oil is generally considered a middle to top note and is often used to add freshness and brightness to aromatic blends. Its clean, camphoraceous character pairs particularly well with other fresh, herbaceous, and woodsy essential oils. Because of its strong aromatic profile, Cajeput is most commonly used alongside herbaceous, evergreen, and woodsy oils rather than delicate floral blends. It can be used sparingly in select citrus blends when a brighter, more invigorating aroma is desired.

Our Cajeput essential oil is 100% pure and natural. It is free of any chemicals, pesticides, synthetic perfumes, fillers or carrier oils.
