25% East Cape Mānuka Oil Blend

"A soothing mānuka oil blend suspended in a sweet almond oil base"

Mānuka essential oil is made by distilling leaves and twigs from the mānuka tree (leptospermum scoparium). Each leaf contains a range of powerful healing oils, which are stored in the oil sacs on the underside of the leaves.

East Cape mānuka oil contains very high levels of triketones - a group of naturally occurring compounds that have extraordinary healing abilities. Triketones have been proven to be effective in controlling MRSA, Herpes (HSV1 and HSV2), and 20-30 times more effective at destroying gram-positive bacteria than Australian Tea Tree Oil.

This potent blend of mānuka oil, lavendar oil, lemon myrtle oil, tea tree oil and sweet almond oil is great for applying directly to the skin and can be used to help with a range of conditions.

We also stock 100% pure East Cape mānuka oil.
