About

Steam distillate from Eucalyptus cinerea (silver dollar eucalyptus) leaves, providing the aromatic and therapeutic essential oil components in a gentle aqueous format. Lower in eucalyptol than E. globulus, making it milder for skin applications.

Eucalyptus Cinerea Leaf Water is the aqueous solution from steam distillation of Eucalyptus cinerea leaves. Eucalyptus cinerea essential oil composition differs from E. globulus with potentially lower eucalyptol content and higher levels of other terpenes such as alpha-pinene and citronellol. CAS 98143-66-9 is listed in CosIng for Eucalyptus cinea leaf water. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009, eucalyptus leaf waters are permitted cosmetic ingredients. The steam distillation process captures volatile essential oil components while excluding non-volatile tannins and heavier plant compounds.

Skin benefits

Known concerns

  • Contains residual essential oil components - eucalyptol and terpenes may cause sensitization
  • Contains citronellol (a fragrance allergen requiring labeling per EU 1223/2009)
