A distinctly Australian oil with exceptional purity, high citral content, and strong natural cleansing properties. Lemon Myrtle essential oil is steam‑distilled from the leaves of Backhousia citriodora, a native Australian rainforest tree. It is known for having one of the highest natural concentrations of citral (typically 90–98%), the compound responsible for its intense lemon aroma and potent antimicrobial activity. This makes it one of the most powerful yet refreshing citrus‑herbal oils in aromatherapy.
