Cajeput Essential Oil

Cajeput Essential Oil is a crisp, invigorating oil steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca cajeputi tree. Traditionally used across Southeast Asia, it is known for its fresh, camphorous aroma and cleansing properties in wellness and body care rituals.

Highly valued by henna artists, cajeput essential oil contains natural terpenes that support effective dye release and stronger stain development. Its slightly warmer profile compared to eucalyptus makes it a preferred choice for achieving deep, long-lasting henna stains.

Using Cajeput Essential Oil with Henna

Cajeput Essential Oil is commonly added to henna paste to enhance colour payoff and stain longevity.

Recommended mixing ratio:
Use 30 ml of essential oil for every 100 grams of henna powder.

How to use:

• Mix henna powder with your chosen liquid until a smooth, lump-free paste forms.

• Gradually add cajeput essential oil, stirring thoroughly for even distribution.

• Allow the paste to rest for proper dye release before application.

This process helps the henna dye bind more effectively to the skin, resulting in richer, darker stains.

Usage & Care

• For external use only.

• Always dilute before applying to skin.

• Perform a patch test prior to use, especially for sensitive skin.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

A trusted essential for traditional and contemporary henna practice, Cajeput Essential Oil brings together heritage, performance, and authenticity in every mix.
