What usage rates are recommended for this eucalyptus leaf oil?
Usage depends on the application and the finished-product type. Because the oil is powerful and skin-sensitising at high concentration, dosing is typically low in leave-on products and moderate in rinse-off and functional products.
Typical Usage Rates
| Application | Recommended level |
|---|---|
| Massage / body oil blend | 1-3% in carrier oil |
| Cold rub / chest balm | 2-5% (follow formulation safety) |
| Diffuser / burner | 3-5 drops per 100 ml water or per manufacturer's device |
| Bath oil | 3-5 drops per bath, pre-mixed with carrier |
| Household cleaner / spray | 0.5-2% with solubilizer |
| Candle / soap fragrance | 1-3% of batch (test for stability) |
| Food flavor | Follow flavor-use guidance — typically 10-50 ppm finished product |
- Always dilute in carrier oil, ethanol or a solubilizer — never apply undiluted to skin
- Do a patch test before first use; discontinue if irritation occurs
- Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes; do not ingest except in approved food-flavor formulations
- Pregnant or nursing women, infants under 2, and people with asthma or sensitive skin should consult a professional before use
- For industrial formulation, confirm maximum levels with your finished-product regulatory file
