Manuka Oil
New Zealand tea tree
Leptospermum scoparium
For centuries, New Zealand Maori have used the native tea tree, Manuka, to treat everything from rheumatism and fevers to burns and skin disorders.
Recently, scientists have confirmed what they've always known. Manuka Oil is up to 33 times stronger than tea tree essential oil for protecting against certain strains of bacteria. It's also effective against the MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staph. Aureus) bacteria, which is resistant to normal antibiotics.
Used in skin care, the antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties of this remarkable oil combat skin irritation and infections, including acne-causing bacteria.
You'll find it in many Living Nature products, including Manuka Honey Gel, Balancing Day Lotion and Balancing Night Gel, plus we have 100% Pure Manuka Oil in a 10ml size for spot treatments or to add to the bath.
It truly is nature's miracle skin protector.
