Relatively new to the essential oil market, Honey Myrtle is a shrub which occurs naturally in the sandy and seasonally wet soils of SW Western Australia.
Plantations have been developed and established in this region by a pioneering family with a lifelong commitment to essential oils. Plants are harvested to yield an oil with a rich lemony aroma (similar to Lemon Myrtle), yet with warm honey-sweet qualities, resulting in a beautifully unique oil.
We source our premium Honey Myrtle essential oil from this pioneering Australian family-run business.
