$25.17 $22.11 Save 12%

Lemon eucalyptus oil is distilled from Corymbia citriodora, the lemon-scented gum whose leaves carry an unusually high citronellal content. The result is lemony, fresh, and green: bright citrus lift up front, settling into a crisp, lightly camphorous base that feels sunnier and more open than standard eucalyptus.

Dilution & Safety

This is a concentrated botanical extract, not a finished skincare product. For topical use, dilute at 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test on a small area first. Keep away from eyes, children, and pets, and do not take internally. Store the bottle capped, away from direct light and heat, to protect its aroma over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this lemon eucalyptus oil pure?
Yes. Every bottle of our lemon eucalyptus oil is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, distilled from Corymbia citriodora leaves with nothing added, no carrier oils, fillers, or synthetic fragrance. What you receive is the same undiluted extract in every size we sell, from the smallest bottle to the largest drum.
How is lemon eucalyptus oil different from regular eucalyptus oil?
Lemon eucalyptus oil comes from Corymbia citriodora, a distinct species from classic eucalyptus varieties. Its leaves carry a high natural citronellal content, which gives the oil a brighter, lemony-citronella top note over a lightly camphorous green base, sunnier and less sharp-smelling than typical eucalyptus oils.
What does lemon eucalyptus oil smell like, and what blends well with it?
It opens with bright, lemony citronella, then settles into a fresh, lightly camphorous green base, sunnier and more citrus-forward than standard eucalyptus. It pairs naturally with lemongrass, lavender, cedarwood, peppermint, and sweet orange in diffuser blends, soap, and candle recipes.
How do I dilute lemon eucalyptus oil for skin use?
For topical blends, dilute lemon eucalyptus oil at 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond oil, roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Always patch test on a small area first and discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
What sizes do you offer, and can I buy in bulk?
We offer ten sizes of lemon eucalyptus oil, starting at 0.5 oz and scaling up through 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 oz bottles to 5, 25, 100, and 400 lb bulk containers. Formulators, makers, and resellers are welcome to order at any size along that range.
Does the price per ounce go down for larger sizes?
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases across our ten-size lineup, and our largest 400 lb container works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest 0.5 oz bottle, making bulk sizes a meaningful savings for regular users and resellers.
Can you provide lab documentation with a bulk order?
For bulk orders, please contact us directly to discuss documentation needs before placing your order. We are glad to talk through what is available for your specific purchase, but we do not promise particular paperwork or test results in advance, so reach out first.
Which size should I choose?
The 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle suits anyone trying lemon eucalyptus oil for the first time in a diffuser or single recipe. The 2 to 8 oz range fits regular home use, while soap, candle, and spray makers working in volume typically start at 16 oz or the 5 lb size.
What is your shipping policy?
Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling and can take a bit longer to prepare for shipment. Checkout for every size runs through our Shopify store, where you will see shipping options and costs before you complete your order.
Does lemon eucalyptus oil have a strong color or thickness?
Lemon eucalyptus oil is typically a pale yellow to light amber, thin and free-flowing like most steam-distilled leaf oils. Keep the bottle capped and out of direct sunlight and heat between uses to help preserve its color and lemony-fresh aroma for as long as possible.
