Manuka.

About this product


Where tea tree smells of the medicine cabinet, manuka smells of honey. It is similar in character to tea tree, but far less medicinal in aroma: a honey-scented oil you will be glad to keep within reach.

This manuka is wildcrafted, then harvested and steam-distilled from the leaves of Leptospermum scoparium in western Australia. It is gentler than the melaleucas, the tea tree family, and in skin care products it is milder and less irritating than tea tree. Some aromatherapy educators prefer it to tea tree altogether, finding tea tree too harsh for the people they care for. Use it wherever you would use tea tree, and enjoy its honeyed warmth instead.

Details

  • Botanical name: Leptospermum scoparium
  • Origin: Western Australia
  • Method: Steam-distilled leaves
  • Growing: Wildcrafted
  • Shelf life: about 1 to 2 years after opening

How to use

Use it as you would tea tree, in skin care and diffuser blends, always at a low dilution. Store it in the dark and refrigerated, and decant a half-empty bottle into a smaller full one to keep it fresh longer.

A softer, honeyed favorite for the bathroom cabinet.
