Dilution & Safety

Cajeput essential oil is a concentrated botanical extract meant for aromatic and cosmetic use only. Dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before applying to skin, and always patch test first. Keep it away from eyes, children, and pets, avoid internal use, and store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cajeput oil pure?
Yes. Every bottle of our cajeput essential oil is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, with nothing added and nothing left out. You can review our published Certificate of Analysis for the exact batch details before you buy or reorder.
How is cajeput different from tea tree oil?
Cajeput comes from Melaleuca cajuputi, a close relative of the tea tree plant, but the two smell distinct. Tea tree leans sharp and clinical, while cajeput is fresh and cool with a fruity-camphorous softness that makes it feel brighter and less harsh in diffuser and DIY blends.
What does cajeput smell like and what does it blend with?
Cajeput smells fresh, cool, and fruity-camphorous, with a sweet edge that softens its penetrating top note. It plays well as a bright top note in blends and pairs naturally with eucalyptus, pine, lavender, citrus, rosemary, and peppermint for a clean, invigorating scent profile.
How do I dilute cajeput oil for skin use?
For skin use, dilute cajeput essential oil to between 0.5% and 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 if any irritation develops.
What sizes do you offer, and can I buy wholesale?
We offer cajeput essential oil in nine sizes, from a 0.5 oz bottle up through 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 oz, and into bulk 5 lb, 25 lb, and 400 lb quantities. Larger sizes are popular with formulators and makers buying at a wholesale scale.
Does the price per ounce improve with larger sizes?
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases across our nine-size lineup. Buying in bulk pays off substantially: our largest 400 lb size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest 0.5 oz bottle, which is why makers and resellers often step up to a larger size.
Is lab documentation available for bulk orders?
Yes. Every size we sell, from the smallest bottle to the largest bulk drum, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis. If your order needs anything further, such as additional documentation for a formulation project, please contact us before ordering so we can confirm what we can provide.
Which size should I choose?
A 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is a good starting point if you are new to cajeput and want to try it in a diffuser first. The 2 to 8 oz range suits regular home use, while 16 oz and the bulk sizes fit makers and formulators working through larger batches.
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, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs, runs through our Shopify store.
What does cajeput oil look like, and how should I store it?
Cajeput essential oil is typically a thin, watery liquid ranging from clear to pale yellow, and slight variation in shade is normal from batch to batch. Store it tightly capped in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to help preserve its fresh, cool aroma over time.
