What is Kunzea essential oil? Kunzea essential oil is extracted from the leaves and green terminal branches of the Kunzea ambigua shrub, which grows wild along the pristine coasts of Southern Australia and Tasmania. Often referred to as "Tick Bush," it was traditionally used by native communities for its powerful restorative properties. It is a unique oil, high in organic compounds like alpha-pinene and viridiflorol, making it a rising star in the world of therapeutic essential oils.

Fact: The plant earned the name "Tick Bush" because native animals were often observed sleeping under Kunzea shrubs to seek relief from ticks and other parasites, highlighting its natural protective qualities.

How It is manufactured? We source the finest wild-harvested Kunzea from the cool, coastal regions of Australia. The branches and leaves are collected and subjected to a meticulous steam distillation process. This gentle extraction ensures that the oil retains its complex chemical profile and its signature clean, medicinal yet pleasant fragrance.

How does it smell? It has a distinctively clean, medicinal, and woody aroma with a spicy undertone and a hint of sweetness.
