What is Lemon Myrtle and how does it benefit skin?

Contains the world's highest known natural citral content — 90–98% of essential oil composition, three times more than lemon itself. Potently antimicrobial and antifungal, it functions both as a natural preservative and as the source of our most vivid, clean citrus aroma. Nothing smells quite like it.

Unlike synthetic citrus fragrances — which flatten and fade within minutes — Lemon Myrtle's high citral concentration creates an aroma that evolves. It opens bright and immediate, then deepens into something warmer and more herbaceous. Because it is genuinely antimicrobial, it also extends the shelf stability of the formulas it inhabits.
