Topical use of Eucalypt sap resin for damaged skin

Eucalyptus trees produce a sticky sap resin that has been used in traditional settings for its antimicrobial and wound-healing properties. This study by Integria Healthcare is taking a closer look at whether this natural ingredient, applied directly to the skin, can genuinely help with a range of common skin conditions. The study will explore its use as individual case studies for people with wounds (both new and chronic), fungal skin infections, acne, insect bites, and sunburn. Each participant will have the eucalypt sap resin applied topically to their affected area, and the team will track how the condition responds over time. You may be eligible if you are an adult aged 18-70 with an inflammatory skin condition or wound. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who have used topical or oral antibiotics, antifungals, or steroids in the past 3 days are not eligible. This is an early-stage exploratory study that aims to build the evidence base for this uniquely Australian natural ingredient.
