Product Overview

Cajuput Essential Oil—known across India as Kayaputi and prized globally alongside Tea Tree and Niaouli—is a crisp, penetrating, camphoraceous-herbaceous essential oil steam-distilled from the fresh leaves and twigs of Melaleuca cajuputi. Naturally rich in 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), it delivers a clean, cooling, medicinal-fresh aroma layered with sweet fruity-green nuances, subtle spice, and soft woody-balsamic undertones.
