Botanical field note
Research and evidence
We do not choose ingredients because they sound natural. We look at supplier quality, formulation role and available research before an ingredient earns a place in a Skin Botanist formula. For customers who want to go deeper, the reputable research papers and source notes we have reviewed are listed below.
The strongest evidence is insect-repellent related, not skincare. CDC recognises oil of lemon eucalyptus/PMD as effective repellent actives, but pure essential oil is not the same as formulated PMD/OLE repellent. In Skin Botanist formulas, this supports the role: Plant-based repellent positioning only if formulation and concentration support it.
Chosen for its clear lemon-eucalyptus aroma and useful role in outdoor botanical formulas. Eucalyptus citriodora helps give the finished product a fresh, clean scent profile while supporting the formula's plant-based outdoor purpose.
Essential oils are potent. Use only at appropriate dilution levels and as directed. Avoid eyes, broken skin and internal use.
