Australian Niaouli - Essential oil of Melaleuca quinquenervia, chemotype C:
description & uses

Unlike some of the common niaouli oils (Melaleuca viridiflora), our Australian Niaouli (also known as broad-leaved paperbark) doesn't suffer from variation in chemical constituent ratios and is characterized by a clean, fruity aroma, together with consistent analysis.
In skin care, Australian Niaouli can be used in place of Tea tree and is particularly suitable for oily and acneic skins.
Please note: this essential oil has a low flash point and is therefore classified as DG.

Place of origin
Australia
Production method
Steam distillation from the leaves of Melaleuca quinquenervia.
Main components
1,8-cineole, y-terpineol, limonene.
Aroma
Clean, fruity aroma with tangy notes and a much milder "disinfectant" smell than regular tea-tree.
Main uses
Aromatherapy, cosmetics.
Comments
While Niaouli has lesser antimicrobial and antifungal properties than regular Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), it is widely recognised for its usefulness in respiratory ailments and problem skin conditions. A beautiful "open air, outdoors" aroma.
