Cajeput Oil is a fresh, camphoraceous and slightly fruity essential oil steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca cajuputi, a tree of the same family as tea tree and niaouli. It is widely used in Southeast Asia in balms, rubs and traditional oils, and it is also used in aromatherapy, personal care and household products.
Arizone International supplies Cajeput Oil for balm and ointment manufacturers, personal care brands, aromatherapy companies and exporters.
About Cajeput
The name cajeput comes from the Malay words "kayu putih", meaning white wood, because the tree has pale, papery bark. It grows naturally in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, northern Australia and nearby regions. Indonesia, especially the Maluku islands, is the traditional centre of cajeput oil production, where "minyak kayu putih" is a common household oil. People in Indonesia rub it on the chest, stomach and temples, and it is often given to children in diluted form.
Cajeput belongs to the Melaleuca genus along with tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) and niaouli (Melaleuca quinquenervia), but its oil has a different composition from tea tree oil.
