About
Steam distillate from Eucalyptus parvula (small-leaved eucalyptus) leaves, a milder eucalyptus species. Contains essential oil components in aqueous form suitable for sensitive skin applications compared to standard eucalyptus oils.
Eucalyptus Parvula Leaf Water is the steam distillate from Eucalyptus parvula leaves, a smaller-leaved eucalyptus species. The essential oil composition typically contains 1,8-cineole with varying amounts of alpha-pinene, limonene, and terpinen-4-ol. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009, eucalyptus botanical waters are permitted ingredients. The steam distillation process removes the non-volatile plant material, yielding a milder ingredient compared to crude leaf extract. Eucalyptus parvula is considered one of the more gentle eucalyptus species for topical use.
