What is Eucalyptol?
Eucalyptol is a popular monoterpenoid best known for its refreshing, minty scent. Its origins are no mystery given its name is incredibly similar to its most abundant, natural source, eucalyptus. That being said, this terpenoid is also abundant in bay leaves, basil, and tea tree leaves. When isolated, Eucalyptol is colorless and has an oily, liquid consistency.
