Corymbia citriodora, the lemon-scented gum · steam-distilled from Corymbia citriodora leaves · bottled 100% pure and undiluted
Citrus-Bright Gum Leaf Oil
Lemon eucalyptus oil is distilled from Corymbia citriodora, the lemon-scented gum whose leaves carry an unusually high citronellal content. The result is lemony, fresh, and green: bright citrus lift up front, settling into a crisp, lightly camphorous base that feels sunnier and more open than standard eucalyptus.
