Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil

Lemon Myrtle is extracted by steam distillation and every drop of steam that is passing through the product contains a micro-fraction of oil. The stems and smaller leaf particles are used in the distillation process and further recycled by-products from this process (steam and dried leaf) to manufacture microfibre and hydrosol.

The oil harvest and distillation allows the creative minds of the region another natural product they can utilise while adding to the ever growing popularity of essential oils. Committed to a zero-waste approach and utilising sustainable farming practices ensures 100% of each Lemon Myrtle plant is used. Compost is redistributed as a source of organic matter back into the soil to nourish and condition both the soil and the trees throughout the year. On some of the farms’ dams, a water catchment has been designed and collection tanks on all the buildings which enable them to be more self-sufficient and not rely solely on the local water infrastructure. A drip irrigation is also used on all of the plantations, instead of overhead irrigation, which allows the water to be directed to the base of the plant, right where it needs it most.
