Details
The essential oil coming from Eucalyptus Radiata. It is a different species than the much more commonly used Eucalyptus Globulus, but the chemical structure of the essential oils are surprisingly similar. The main component here is also eucalyptol (84%) giving the oil camphoraceous aroma and antibacterial and expectorant properties.
Also similar to Eucalyptus Globulus, its EU sensitiser total percentage is 5% (due to limonene) and counts as non-senstiising amount essential oils.
