Is Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus the same as Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil?
No. Do not substitute Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil for Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. Both are extracted from the Lemon Eucalyptus tree however, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus is further refined to concentrate the repellent component PMD which occurs naturally in the plant. PMD is highly effective and long acting in repelling mosquitoes as demonstrated in arm-in-cage tests. Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil contains only trace amounts of PMD and is not an effective mosquito repellent.
