Lemon myrtle essential oil

Backhousia citriodora -unsprayed-  Australia

Uplifting & refreshing

Aroma: Lemon myrtle has the most pure sweet lemon aroma. It is a wonderfully uplifting and refreshing oil and is great for stress.

Properties: Physically it is extremely antibacterial (it has a very high citral content), which makes it a powerful oil to use for the respiratory system and also in cleaning around the house.

Because of the high citral content it should be prepared with a very low dilution, especially for sensitive skins. 

Blends with: native oils, cedarwood, citrus oils, geranium, lavender, myrtle & peppermint.

It is steam distilled from leaves

Shelf life:  It will keep for around 3 years if stored with lid tightly closed in a cool, dark area.
