Stories from Nature
The eucalyptus is an imposing evergreen tree belonging to the Myrtaceae family, native to Australia and capable of reaching heights exceeding 90 meters. Its name derives from the Greek “eucalyptos,” which translates to “well-hidden,” referring to the distinctive morphology of its protected flower. Introduced to Europe and Italy during the 19th century, it is renowned for its remarkable ability to absorb water, a quality that makes it ideal for soil stabilization.
The essential oil, extracted by distillation from fresh leaves, is a cornerstone of functional cosmetics thanks to its invigorating aroma and remarkable purifying properties, widely used in balm formulations to promote well-being and tissue regeneration.
