Introduction

Among the treasures of the Australian flora, Melaleuca nesophila—commonly known as Honey Myrtle—stands out for its uniquely sweet, floral-citrus fragrance and its remarkable therapeutic versatility. Extracted through steam distillation of the plant’s leaves and twigs, Honey Myrtle Oil has gained growing recognition in aromatherapy, skincare, and natural wellness industries for its refreshing scent and powerful antimicrobial profile.

Botanical Profile

Botanical Name: Melaleuca nesophila
Common Name: Honey Myrtle Oil
Family: Myrtaceae
Plant Part Used: Leaves and Twigs
Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
Main Components: Citral (Neral & Geranial), Myrcene, Limonene, and Linalool

The oil belongs to the Tea Tree family (Melaleuca genus), but it differs from traditional Tea Tree Oil in its delicate aroma and higher citral concentration, giving it a pleasant, lemony-sweet character.

Aroma & Appearance

Honey Myrtle Oil presents a light yellow hue with a soft, sweet, lemon-floral fragrance—balancing freshness with warmth. Its scent profile makes it a natural choice for high-end perfumery, luxury skincare, and aromatherapy blends.

Key Benefits

🌿 1. Antimicrobial & Antiviral Protection

Rich in citral, Honey Myrtle Oil displays strong antibacterial and antifungal activity, making it ideal for formulations aimed at acne-prone skin, natural sanitizers, and respiratory wellness blends.

💧 2. Emotional Uplift & Relaxation

The soothing floral aroma calms the mind and helps relieve stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Diffusing a few drops in the evening promotes mental clarity and emotional balance.

🌼 3. Skin & Hair Health

With its cleansing yet non-irritating nature, it helps maintain clear, glowing skin and supports scalp health by reducing microbial build-up. It can be blended with carrier oils for gentle massages or restorative skincare routines.
