Eucalyptus Oils Are Mighty Fine

Native of Australia and Tasmania, Eucalyptus has been used for centuries by the Aborigines in topical applications to treat general skin problems.  It has many wonderful properties and is a great natural antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal.  Also, the camphorous nature makes it a great decongestant that can be used to treat respiratory distress and congestion. 


For our BOSSANOVA Eucalyptus soaps, we generate a stock of highly concentrated Eucalyptus infused Olive Oil for use in making these spectacular soaps.  We extract these sharp refreshing Eucalyptus Oils from freshly collected Red Ironbark and Narrow-leaved peppermint Eucalyptus trees by adding heated Olive Oil to the chopped leaves.  This infusion is left to marinate for a minimum of two weeks, and once strained, a distinctly green Olive Oil loaded with Eucalyptus Oils is the result.
