Lemon Eucalyptus & Tea Tree Essential Oil Set of 2, 15ml — Clarifying & Insect Repellent
Couldn't load pickup availability
Two 15 ml bottles that do double duty: lemon eucalyptus, the citriodora species used in natural repellent blends, and tea tree, the clarifying oil for skin, scalp and surfaces. Steam-distilled and undiluted — a practical pair for a monsoon shelf, where the same two bottles handle the insects and the damp.
What’s in this set
| Oil | Botanical name | Extraction | Plant part | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lemon Eucalyptus | Eucalyptus citriodora | Steam distilled | Leaves | 15 ml |
| Tea Tree | Melaleuca alternifolia | Steam distilled | Leaves | 15 ml |
Two oils, two problems
- Lemon Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus citriodora) — Lemony and camphorous — a different species from common eucalyptus. Citriodora is the one traditionally used in natural repellent blends rather than in steam.
- Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) — Sharp, green and unmistakably medicinal. The classic choice for blemish-prone skin and for freshening laundry, floors and bins — always diluted.
How to use
Repellent spray. In 100 ml: 20 drops lemon eucalyptus, 10 drops tea tree, 10 ml witch hazel or alcohol, topped up with water.
Skin. Tea tree at 1–2% in aloe gel or a light carrier oil, on the area rather than the whole face.
Surfaces and damp corners. 10–15 drops of tea tree in a 500 ml vinegar-and-water spray, for bathrooms and cupboards.
Diffuser. 5–8 drops, two parts lemon eucalyptus to one part tea tree.
Dilution guide
| Use | Dilution | Drops per 10 ml carrier oil |
|---|---|---|
| Face, sensitive skin, children over 6 | 1% | 2 drops |
| Body, daily massage | 2% | 4 drops |
| Targeted use on a small area | 3% | 6 drops |
| Diffuser (100–300 ml tank) | — | 5–8 drops in water |
Safety & storage
- Never apply undiluted essential oil to skin. Dilute in a carrier oil first.
- Patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
- Not to be taken internally. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets. Consult a doctor if pregnant, nursing or under medical care.
- Store upright in the closed amber bottle, away from sunlight and heat. Flammable — keep away from open flame.
Frequently asked questions
Is lemon eucalyptus the same as the eucalyptus used for steam?
No. This is Eucalyptus citriodora — lemony, and the species used in repellent blends. The steam oil is Eucalyptus globulus, a different plant.
Can I put both in the same spray?
Yes — two parts lemon eucalyptus to one part tea tree in a 100 ml water-and-witch-hazel spray is the blend that covers both jobs.
How do I turn these into a spray?
In a 100 ml spray bottle: 20–30 drops total of essential oil, 10 ml of alcohol or witch hazel to disperse it, topped up with water. Shake before every use — oil and water separate.
How long does a natural repellent last?
Plant oils evaporate faster than synthetic actives, so reapply every 1–2 hours outdoors. We do not claim a protection duration or an effectiveness percentage — if you are in a high-risk area for mosquito-borne illness, use a tested repellent.
Is it safe for children?
Not for infants. For children over two, halve the dilution and keep it off hands and faces. Ask your paediatrician first — and never apply undiluted oil to a child's skin.
Can I use these in a diffuser instead of on skin?
Yes, and for indoor evenings it is the easier option. 5–8 drops in the water tank of an ultrasonic diffuser scents a normal-sized room.
