Manuka - 100% Natural Essential Oil (10ml) - Pestik

Manuka(Leptospermum scoparium)

Manuka essential oil, also commonly known as New Zealand tea tree oil, is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of the flowering shrub Leptospermum scoparium ct East Cape. Manuka has been prized for centuries by the Maori people who are native to New Zealand, where the low shrub originated.

There are three phenotypes of Manuka native to New Zealand, and only one of these is rich in the highly sought after triketones. In fact, Manuka essential oil is famous for its high triketone content, which is specific to the Eastern Cape of New Zealand, where the tree's ability to cope with harsh environmental conditions is legendary.

Triketones are key antagonists of Gram-positive bacteria (more so than Tea Tree) and are present at elevated levels only in Manuka, found in the unique ecosystem of the East Cape.
