New Zealand's Honeyed Leaf Oil
Manuka oil is drawn from Leptospermum scoparium, the wiry shrub also known for its honey, through steam distillation of its leaves and branches. The result is earthy, honeyed, and warm, with a resinous depth that lingers softly beneath brighter citrus and floral notes in a blend.

View Signature Blends →Manuka oil is a concentrated botanical extract, so always dilute it to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before applying to skin, and patch test on a small area first. Keep it away from eyes, children, and pets, and never take it internally. Store the bottle tightly capped in a shaded, moderate-temperature spot.
