Cajuput extract

Cajuput extract (CAS 85480-37-1), derived from the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca cajuputi, delivers a fresh, camphoraceous aromatic profile used across cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and flavoring applications.

The extract concentrates the plant active constituents, primarily cineole-rich fractions, into a form suitable for formulation and compounding. In personal care, it is incorporated into scalp treatments and cooling gels.

Its sharp, medicinal scent and antioxidant activity support product positioning in various topical preparations. Pharmaceutical formulators use it in topical analgesic and respiratory products, including chest rubs and inhalation preparations.

The cineole content drives functional performance in these medical applications. Food and beverage manufacturers apply it as a flavoring agent in small-dose applications such as mints, lozenges, and functional confectionery.

It is utilized where a clean, eucalyptus-adjacent note is required. Fragrance compounders also draw on it to build medicinal or fresh-green accords in soaps and household products for industrial use.

Cajuput extract is typically supplied as a liquid oleoresin or essential oil-type extract, with concentration and cineole content varying by supplier specification. Both technical and cosmetic-grade material is available.

Buyers often requesting standardized cineole percentages to ensure batch consistency across production cycles. Packaging ranges from small amber glass units to bulk drum quantities for large scale industrial use.
