Native - Australian Plant Essential Oils

For Description & Uses:  

Lemon Myrtle - 1/4 fl oz (7.5 ml) $9.42

Backhousia citriodora

Description:

lemon_myrtle.jpgThe wonderful tangy aroma of Lemon Myrtle is used in Australian bush cuisine, perfumery and aromatherapy applications. Reminiscent of lemon and of the true Melissa oil, it is an excellent blending oil with long-lasting characteristics. It is produced via steam distillation from the leaves and twigs of Backhousia citriodora (plantation tree) and its main component is citral. It has a dramatic lemon scent with mild spicy undertones.

It is an extraordinarily fragrant oil with enormous potential for both aromatherapy and cosmetics/perfumery uses. Being a particularly powerful oil, it should never be used at concentrations above 1%. A fine oil on its own, it blends well with virtually any other essential oils, and particularly the other Australian oils, to give them a superb "lift".

Summary of Uses:

  • Energising oil in aromatherapy and massage
  • Freshens rooms and buildings
  • Antimicrobial
  • Antifungal
  • Use at low concentrations – skin irritant at high concentrations
  • Recommended concentration in formulations: In "rinse-off" product formulations: <0.5%. In "leave-on" product formulations: <0.05%
