Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil is a therapeutic-grade oil steam-distilled from the leaves of Backhousia citriodora, an Australian native tree presenting as a light yellow liquid. Lemon Myrtle is the world’s most concentrated natural source of citral (geranial + neral, 90–98%) — significantly higher than lemon oil or lemongrass oil — giving it an intensely fresh, sweet, clean lemon aroma far more potent and pure than actual lemon oil. This extraordinary citral concentration delivers exceptional antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties, making Lemon Myrtle one of the most powerful natural antimicrobial essential oils available.
