Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) isn't actually a lemon; it's a plant. A shrub-y type tree, if you want to be specific! Lemon Myrtle has a bright, botanical fragrance that is more sophisticated than your average lemon. It boasts four times the anti-bacterial punch than Tea Tree Oil (and smells much better).
Native Australians have been using the Lemon Myrtle plant for over 40,000 years. They cook with it, make tea from its leaves, and use it to treat everything from viruses to headaches.
The uses and benefits are too numerous to list here, but it's the sweet, fresh fragrance that really pulls you in. It has a bright, clean scent that's fresher and greener than a straight-up "lemon."
In fact, Lemon Myrtle's refreshing fragrance is thought to relieve anxiety and depression and contribute to a more restful sleep.
We're proud to offer this gorgeous 100% natural scent in several of our best-selling products, including Hand Soap, Dish Soap, and Fragrance Oils.
