Sensitive skin, it’s your time to sing! Niaouli Essential Oil is a fantastic skin tonic. Just as Tea Tree oil is often added to acne toners, Niaouli offers similar benefits and is an ally to add to skin cleansers for acne.

Anoint tender skin and spiritual issues with the energy of Niaouli Essential Oil, the strong, silent cousin of Tea Tree oil. If you find Tea Tree a bit harsh or astringent-smelling, Niaouli offers the same power wrapped in a sweeter scent.

Sometimes referred to as Five-Veined Paperbark oil, or MQV essential oil (a nickname based on the Latin name, Melaleuca quinquenervia), Niaouli has played a prominent role in world cultures for many centuries. Peoples in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Pacific Rim have long known of the pure plant power contained in the paper bark tree, which is native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and New Caledonia. In New Caledonia especially, the oil captured from this trusted tree has been woven into every facet of the local’s lives. Plentiful paper bark trees purify the air naturally.

Its crisp camphorous molecules make Niaouli perfect for use in a diffuser or salt pipe while studying or performing tasks that require the utmost concentration.

Organic Ingredients

100% niaouli (melaleuca quinquenervia) essential oil.

“Bowles (2003) gives the main constituents of niaouli from Madagascar as 1,8-cineole at 41.8%, viridifloral (a sesquiterpene alcohol) at 18.1% and limonene at 5%… A study conducted by Donoyama and Ichiman (2006) revealed that niaouli was the best oil for “hygienic massage practice.”
