Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil is a therapeutic-grade oil steam-distilled from the leaves of Eucalyptus citriodora (lemon-scented gum), presenting as a pale yellow transparent liquid. Distinctly different from standard Eucalyptus globulus, Lemon Eucalyptus Oil is dominated by citronellal (up to 80%) rather than 1,8-cineole — giving it a fresh, lemony-green, slightly sweet character rather than a camphorous eucalyptus scent. It is scientifically validated as one of the most effective natural insect repellents available — the CDC-approved active PMD (para-menthane-3,8-diol), derived from Lemon Eucalyptus, is among the few natural alternatives rated equivalent to DEET for mosquito repellency.

- Natural Insect Repellents (CDC-recognised mosquito repellent formulations)
