Bosisto's Eucalyptus Oil Questions & Answers

Hi there, We would recommend to not use on children under 2 year of age, as the oil may be too strong for little ones. If you have any further questions, please contact our Customer Service Team at, cservice@fgb.com.au Thanks Team Bosisto's

Do you mean in a Warm Steam Vaporiser? These can be used, but not with pure eucalyptus oil - choose a eucalyptus-based inhalant, like Vicks VapoSteam or Euky Bearub. These are a more dilute solution that goes straight in the water and are suitable for use during pregnancy. Hope this helps, Kind Regards The Bosisto's Team.

As long as it's an open area with plenty of ventilation it should be fine. If you are using this specifically for children's colds, we would recommend instead a children's essential oil formula like Euky Bear's Sniffly Nose blend external link  Or Sniffly Nose Inhalant external link  depending on whether you are using a diffuser or a vaporiser, respectively. The Bosisto's oil is an adult-strength product and shouldn't be used in children's rooms with the door shut, or applied directly to their skin. Kind Regards, Bosisto's Team.

Hi Danielle - no I don't believe so I'm sorry! That's lovely to hear you get so much enjoyment out of the diffuser, despite the beep. Apologies that I don't have a solution for this for you, but I'll pass on to the team regards the design/ function of the unit. Kind Regards, Carla from Bosisto's.

Hi, yes you can! We recommend 6 drops to 1 litre of water. Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Penny No, this is not suitable for applying to the skin while pregnant. We know a lot more now about eucalyptus oil than we did years ago and many of the traditional uses are no longer considered safe.

Just out of curiosity why would you apply it? Perhaps we can suggest an alternative.

Kind Regards, Carla from Bosisto's.

Hi Lyn Everyone likes a different ratio! Our favourite recipe is in this link, but personally we'd add a capful (or maybe two) to the mix rather than a few drops. The little bit of dish detergent is the key to keeping the oil and water/ vinegar mixed. :) external link

Thank you!

Hi Vanessa I'm not sure which answer you're referring to - can you clarify?. Adults are fine to use eucalyptus oil (or spray) neat on their skin, as directed on the label. It's only an issue for children. Hope this helps! Kind Regards, Bosisto's

Hi spaik The difference is in the labelling. This is the company who have the trademark for the Bosisto's brand in Asia and does not contain Australian eucalyptus oil external link  You can see on their "Contact Us" page that they are based in Bangkok.

This is the Bosisto's brand which contains Australian oil and is 100% manufactured in Australia external link 

You can see it's really quite different - and the contact details down the bottom are in Oakleigh South, Victoria Australia. Home of Bosisto's since Joseph Bosisto first bottled eucalyptus oil at Dandenong Creek Victoria in 1852.

Unfortunately we cannot sell our eucalyptus oil under the Bosisto's brand name overseas due to the trademark issue, which is complex. However, it is sold under the name Euky Bear, if you are looking for a product with genuine Australian-grown oil. Here is Euky Bear Malaysia website: external link 

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions. Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Yes, it's perfectly fine to use around the house when used as directed on the label (for mopping, laundry, wiping benches etc.) Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi EveEve You should never apply 100% pure essential oils "neat" to your skin or face. This is suitable to be diluted in a carrier oil, such as jojoba, coconut or Vitamin E oil at around 2% - so 98% carrier oil to 2% eucalyptus oil. For children or babies, it should be 1%. Here's a handy article on essential oil dilution for your information. external link  Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Ching, Can you explain what method of use you are enquiring about? In general, you should not use pure essential oils at all under 12 months of age. After that, very small amounts can be used in a carrier oil, or say a chest rub or diffused into the air, but this is dependent on a number of factors. Eucalyptus Oil should be used with caution with young children and never applied directly on the skin of babies. Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Just use Used only for washing clothes and cleaning
