Description

Lemon myrtle essential oil (bot. Backhousia citriodora) is an wonderfully refreshing and pleasant lemon-scented essential oil.

Steam distilled from the leaves, although the flowers also have a scent.

It smells even fresher and sweeter than citrus fruits themselves and has a pleasant hint of green apples. Lemon myrtle essential oil is incomparably more fragrant, pleasant, greener and livelier than most other lemon-scented essential oils, and this difference is due to the fact that the essential oil contains mainly neral and geranial (citral), rather than limonene, which is the main compound in lemon essential oil. Lemon essential oil is the purest and richest source of natural citral (sometimes even up to 90-98%).

It is an excellent aromatherapy and home fragrance product – almost everyone likes its scent, it lifts the mood, gives energy and optimism, and creates a pleasant, joyful atmosphere.

Cosmetics and aromatherapy

Lemon balm essential oil's special composition makes it an excellent remedy for a wide range of skin problems, and its extremely fresh and pleasant scent makes it ideal for air purification, cleansing and mild inhalation.

The emotional effects of lemongrass essential oil have also been studied and it has excellent mood-elevating and pleasantly relaxing effects. As well as being perfect for breathing and purifying indoor air, lemon balm essential oil is also a great relief from bad, depressed moods.

Perfumery

Lemon balm essential oil is also an excellent perfumery substance – its freshness and volatility make it ideal for the top citrus note and its duration for the middle note, but safety recommendations should be observed due to its extremely high citral content.
