Rosalina (Northern Form) essential oil:
Melaleuca ericifolia is a small tree found naturally in moist areas and watercourses along the east coast of Australia, from northern New South Wales to Tasmania. Relatively new to the essential oil industry, and known as Rosalina, this soothing and refreshing oils offers many useful benefits.
We source the Northern Form of Rosalina oil, a variety naturally high in Linalool (like Lavender oil), and sharing many of the same therapeutic and cosmetic uses.
This premium oil is sourced from established plantations grown and harvested in Western Australia.
Here at Wild Oils Tasmania, we are establishing plantations of the southern form of Rosalina, naturally high in 1,8-Cineole (like Eucalyptus oil). We will be harvesting and distilling this Tasmanian form to add to our signature blends, reflecting the essence of our wild Tasmanian environments.
