100% Pure East Cape Kānuka Oil

'Sweet and soothing. Reminiscent of happy memories'

Kānuka essential oil is made by distilling leaves and twigs from the kānuka tree (kunzea ericoides). Each leaf contains a range of potent healing oils, which are stored in the oil sacs on the underside of the leaves. One of the main compounds found in kānuka oil is alpha-pinene, which is known to be highly antimicrobial, great for improving airflow to the lungs, and aiding memory.

Kānuka oil is a lighter oil than mānuka oil, which the skin tends to absorb more rapidly. Kānuka oil has a sweet, herbaceous and earthy scent.

WAYS TO USE KĀNUKA OIL:

As an essential oil, kānuka is versatile and can be used for many different purposes. Here are our favourites:

•Add a few drops to your washing powder or liquid for a hygienic clean and refreshing fragrance.

• Place a couple of drops in your hands, cup them together and inhale to help with relaxation, getting ready for sleep and opening blocked airways.

• Add a few drops to your favourite carrier oil (such as sweet almond or coconut oil) for an effective insect repellent.

• Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to fungal infections to help reduce the effects.

• Dilute with a non-comedogenic carrier oil and apply to acne for help with clearing breakouts.
