How to Use
For Body & Hair:
Use undiluted or slightly diluted. Apply to wet skin or hair, lather, and rinse thoroughly. The Lemon Myrtle adds a refreshing, awakening element to your shower.
For Hands:
Dilute 1 tbsp into a 250ml foaming soap dispenser for energizing hand soap with natural antibacterial properties.
For Household Cleaning:
Dilute 1:10 for general cleaning, 1:20 for floors. The Lemon Myrtle scent freshens as it cleans, leaving your home smelling like the Australian rainforest.
For Dishes:
Use a squirt directly on dishes or dilute in sink. Cuts grease beautifully with natural citrus power.
Pro Tip: Because this is concentrated, always dilute appropriately for the task. A little truly goes a long way!
