WHAT IS CAJEPUT ESSENTIAL OIL?

Cajeput essential oil, or sometimes known as cajuput oil or cajuputi oil, is extracted from the fresh leaves and twigs of the cajeput tree through steam distillation. The leaves are collected on a hot day and macerated in water. After fermenting for a night, the distillation takes place.

For its physical properties, cajeput essential oil is thin in its consistency; it is typically clear in colour with a subtle hint of yellow to it. Its aromatic, pungent smell is uplifting and helps to clean the surrounding air. In brief, it has many applications similar to those of tea tree oil. The reason behind this is that both originated in the same genus, Melaleuca. However, please note that this volatile oil should be used with more caution as it is known to irritate the skin.

CAJEPUT ESSENTIAL OIL BENEFITS

A particularly versatile essential oil, Cajeput Oil has many benefits and applications. It has astringent properties that benefit oily as well as very dry skin. Let us break down its benefits below.

CAJEPUT OIL FOR YOUR SKIN

Topical application of diluted cajeput oil can balance and remove excess oil and dirt in the skin. With regular use, breakouts can be prevented. For blends, this oil is usually combined with other mints to create skincare products.

In addition to this, the antioxidant properties of this essential oil assist in reducing the blemishes on the skin. The same properties can also protect the skin from external, harmful factors brought on by free radicals. Apply regularly to achieve even-toned, glowing skin.

CAJEPUT OIL FOR HAIR

The nourishing properties of cajeput oil are also promoted in hair care. It has the ability to moisturise the hair strands and cleanse the scalp simultaneously. This results in bouncy, healthy-looking hair. Its cleansing ability is also able to remove dandruff debris and other impurities. For application, add a few drops of this essential oil to your shampoo and then gently massage it into the scalp.

CAJEPUT OIL FOR HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS

This beneficent oil is surprisingly also effective as an insect repellent. Its insecticidal qualities are intense and thereby it is effective to be used by making a diluted solution. You can either use it as a spray or a vaporiser inside a room.

WARNING: Not to be taken internally. It may be a skin-irritant. Do not apply undiluted and perform a patch test to avoid skin sensitivities.
