Cajeput Essential Oil
Fresh, Revitalizing & Immune-Supporting

Our organically crafted Cajeput Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the aromatic leaves and twigs of Melaleuca cajuputi, a tree native to Australia. Also known as ‘White Tea Tree,’ ‘White Wood,’ and ‘Weeping Paperbark Tree,’ Cajeput shares a natural composition and aroma with Eucalyptus and Tea Tree, both belonging to the Melaleuca genus. This essential oil has a fresh, fruity, sweet, herbaceous, and camphor-like aroma that blends well with citrus, floral, mint, and wood-based essential oils.

A Botanical Gem with a Rich History

The name Cajeput originates from the Indonesian term kayu putih, meaning ‘White Wood.’ Recognized for its striking grey-white papery bark and vibrant white, pink, and purple flowers, Cajeput trees are often featured in landscape design. Also known as River Tea Trees, Weeping Tea Trees, and Punk Trees, these towering trees can grow up to 30 meters tall and are found in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Java, and Australia.
