Lemon myrtle essential oil, certified organic

Lemon myrtle essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Backhousia citriodora, a native Australian tree prized for its exceptionally fresh, crisp citrus aroma. The oil is naturally high in citral, giving it a scent that is often described as even more intensely lemony than true lemon essential oil.

Bright and powerful, lemon myrtle essential oil is valued for its clean, uplifting character and is widely used in aromatherapy, natural perfumery, and household formulations where a strong citrus note is desired.

In aromatherapy

Lemon myrtle essential oil is commonly used in aromatherapy for its fresh, uplifting aroma. Its sharp citrus scent is said to help promote mental clarity, improve focus, and create an energising atmosphere. It works particularly well in diffusers, either on its own or blended with other citrus, herbal, or woody oils.

In skincare

In cosmetic formulations, lemon myrtle essential oil is used in very small amounts due to its potency. It is sometimes included in cleansers, body products, and massage blends for its fresh scent and cleansing character. Care should always be taken to use it at low dilution rates and in well-balanced formulations.

Common uses

Aromatherapy: Lemon myrtle essential oil has a bright, crisp citrus aroma that is often used in diffusers to freshen spaces and promote alertness and focus.

Massage: When properly diluted in a carrier oil, it can be added to massage blends for its refreshing scent. Use at low concentrations only.

Cleaning products: Its sharp, clean aroma makes lemon myrtle a popular choice for natural surface sprays and household cleaning blends.

Insect repellent: The strong citrus aroma of lemon myrtle is sometimes used in outdoor blends and sprays where insects are a concern.
