Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil - 15ml

Australia's Powerhouse Citrus Oil for Cleaning, Clarity, and Skin Health

Discover the vibrant, uplifting aroma of pure Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil—a uniquely Australian treasure with one of the highest citral contents of any lemon oil. Steam distilled from the leaves of the native Backhousia citriodora tree, this refreshingly sweet, intensely lemony oil has become a favorite in natural health, wellness, and cleaning routines worldwide.

Exceptionally High in Citral

What sets Lemon Myrtle apart is its remarkable citral content—significantly higher than other lemon oils.

Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil Safety

Use Responsibly Lemon Myrtle essential oil is highly concentrated and must be used with proper care to ensure safe and effective results.

Dilute Before Topical Use Always dilute Lemon Myrtle essential oil with a carrier oil before applying to skin. Undiluted citrus oils can cause significant irritation, sensitivity, or allergic reactions.

Photosensitivity Warning Lemon Myrtle oil may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure or UV rays for at least 12 hours after topical application to prevent skin reactions or burns.

Do not ingest essential oils.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Consult a healthcare professional before using Lemon Myrtle oil if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Keep Away from Children & Pets Store essential oils securely out of reach. Use caution when using around children and pets, as citrus oils can be particularly irritating.

Avoid Sensitive Areas Keep away from eyes, inner ears, mucous membranes, and broken or damaged skin.
