At ishga, we believe in harnessing the healing power of nature to create results-driven skincare that nurtures all skin types. One such ingredient in our formulations is Eucalyptus - a plant renowned not only for its fresh, invigorating scent, but also for its impressive benefits for healthy, glowing skin.
What is eucalyptus?
Eucalyptus is a fast growing tree found native to Australia and some parts of Tasmania. They have silvery-blue or glossy green leaves and a distinctive peeling bark. The leaves are distilled to extract eucalyptus oil, the potent extract is prized for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and aromatherapeutic properties.Eucalyptus has long been valued by Indigenous Australians, who traditionally used it to treat wounds, ease respiratory issues, and reduce fevers. These practices were later adopted by European settlers, who began extracting its essential oil for wider use.
