Description
Manuka Oil is a pure essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves and branchlets of the evergreen shrub Manuka, also known by the botanical name Leptospermum scoparium. This flowering sapling can be found within the Myrtaceae family, the same family as Tea Tree oil, of dicotyledonous plants. Manuka oil is a clear, pale yellow liquid that is slightly denser than other essential oils. It is a widely sought-after material throughout the aromatherapy industry because of its wholesome clean, woodsy scent and believed soothing properties. Manuka oil has been long established in the cosmetic and skin-care market as well in a wide array of topical applications. Manuka Oil is not intended for internal use.
