Eucalyptus is the freshness kick in our skincare.
When care should feel invigorating – after sport, when you sense a cold coming on, or simply for a clear start to the day – eucalyptus is our first choice. Cineole has been shown to be mildly antibacterial and freshens up right away. In our solid foot creams it rounds out the herbal note.
A fresh active from Down Under
Eucalyptus originally comes from Australia and Tasmania. The essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of the leaves and consists mainly of cineole (eucalyptol) – responsible for the distinctive fresh, slightly menthol-like scent and the invigorating effect.
