This tree reaches a height of up to 30 metres, has a solid bark of light grey colour and stands out with its narrow, friendly leaves with transparent glands. Kajeput is popular for its rapid growth, making it useful for reforestation after damage. In addition, it is an important source of essential oil.
Cajeput essential oil is known for its strong antiseptic and analgesic properties. This makes it widely used in many products, especially in cosmetics and medicine. In cosmetics, cajeput is often included in shampoos and hair conditioners that are designed to treat dandruff and allergic reactions on the scalp. It is also a popular ingredient in skin creams and soaps used to treat problem skin. Its strong, eucalyptus-like scent and fresh cooling effect are then used in various toothpastes, mouthwashes and lip balms. In the field of medicine, cajeput oil is used, for example, as a component of ointments and gels for healing wounds, burns, insect bites and respiratory ailments.
