Essential oils have been a key component in a lot of health, beauty, and wellness fields. While there are many common go-to’s, we enjoy incorporating the unique and less commonly known essential oils into our products as well. Cajeput essential oil is one of the less commonly discussed essential oils, however, it should not be overlooked because it is packed full of powerful ingredients with many benefits. This oil is also very multifaceted and can be used in many different ways. From aromatherapy to medical, cajeput essential oil is able to do it all.
Cajeput oil is extracted from the leaves of the Cajeput tree, scientifically referred to as the Melaeuca Cajuputi. The tree can be found in Australia, New Guinea, and Southeast Asia. Cajeput oil is the cousin of tea tree oil, they share similar properties, however, cajeput oil has an even more pleasant scent.

The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is important to protect the skin from the many infections that the skin is easily exposed to on a daily basis. Cajeput essential oil has antimicrobial properties and is an active agent that fights against and prevents infections, bacteria, and viruses while regenerating damaged skin.
