Introduction
Lemon eucalyptus oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves of the lemon eucalyptus tree (Eucalyptus citriodora). It has a lemon-like aroma, fresh and has an aromatic character.
It is commonly used in soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, and other fragrance products. Lemon eucalyptus oil also has insecticidal properties and can be used as an insect repellent.
Lemon eucalyptus oil is usually extracted by distillation or cold-pressing leaves. Distillation uses water vapor to evaporate essential oils, which are then collected by condensation. The cold-pressing method directly squeezes the leaves to obtain essential oils.
