Is this eucalyptus leaf oil REACH compliant for the EU market?
Yes. As an essential oil, eucalyptus leaf oil is a naturally occurring substance that falls under the REACH natural-substance exemption for registration (Article 2(7)(b) and Annex V of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006), provided it is not chemically modified.
EU REACH Status
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Substance type | Naturally occurring substance (steam-distilled botanical oil) |
| REACH registration | Exempt from registration under Art. 2(7)(b) / Annex V as a non-modified natural substance |
| Supplier obligations | SDS supplied; compositional data available via the SDS and COA |
| CLP classification | Supplied with GHS/CLP hazard labelling (flammable liquid Cat. 3; skin sensitiser potential Cat. 1) |
| EU 2023/1545 allergens | Eucalyptol is not in the current cosmetic allergen list; eucalyptus oil itself is not on the 80-allergen annex |
- The SDS is delivered in EU CLP format with hazard statements, H-phrases and transport classification
- If your EU buyer asks for a full registration dossier, note that natural unmodified oils do not require one; we provide the technical declaration supporting the exemption
- For cosmetic use, eucalyptus oil is not among the 80 substances listed in EU Regulation 2023/1545 Annex III (allergen labelling), so no special labelling is triggered by this oil alone
- Notify your downstream users: the oil is classified as a skin sensitiser risk and should be handled with nitrile gloves and adequate ventilation
- We can supply a REACH technical information pack (TDS, SDS, COA, flow chart of non-modification) for your import file
