Tea Tree Lemon Essential Oil
|
 Botanical Name: Leptospermum sp.
Plant Part: Leaves
Extraction Method: Steam
Origin: Australia
Description: Tea Tree Lemon comes from a hardy, bushy shrub with fine narrow leaves and small white to pink flowers.
Color: Clear to slightly pale yellow
Common Uses: Much like regular Tea Tree, Tea Tree Lemon is said to have antiseptic, anti-microbial, carminative and sedative properties. It is used extensively in the perfumery, cosmetic, and aromatherapy industries. It has also grown into a premiere ingredient in bug-repellent products – particularly those with a natural slant. Anti-allergenic and anti inflammatory properties also help in the relief of skin disorders and rheumatic ailments.
Consistency: Light
Strength of Aroma: Medium to Strong
Blends well with: Tea Tree Lemon blends well with Cajeput, Cinnamon, Clove, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Geranium Ginger, Juniper, Lavender, Lemon, Mandarin, Orange, Peppermint, Pine, Rosemary and Thyme essential oils.
Aromatic Scent: Tea Tree Lemon essential oil has a Round lemon scent with back-notes reminiscent of citronella and lemongrass. The medicinal notes are much more subtle than regular Tea Tree.
History: Manuka wood was once fashioned into canoe decks, poles, fish hooks, fishing rods and fish traps. It was also used extensively by the old Maori’s for burns and irritations of the skin.
Cautions: Since citral and citronellal are said to be powerful skin irritants, always use diluted in direct skin applications.

Happily, I bought this oil for the therapeutic benefits rather than the scent. It smells like furniture polish! The lemon smell isn't sharp, just mildly citrusy, and the camphorous smell seems to be mellowed by the citrus. It's less camphorous than regular tea tree and seems to have the same anti-microbial benefits. I have found it to be useful for those with cold sores and achne. I would also say that, contrary to the NDA description of this product's uses, it does not seem to have any sedative properties - the fragrance notes are too bright and too strong for that. Nor have I tried this for rheumatic complaints, as there are so many other great oils out there that meet that need. (That is not to say that this wouldn't work for rheumatic complaints, I've just seen no need to try it). I would recommend this to those who love the medicinal benefits of traditional tea tree oil, but hate the smell.

I purchased a tiny tester bottle of this since I really wasn't sure what to expect. I will be buying more of this. It reminds me a bit of citronella, a bit of lemongrass, and definitely tea tree oil. It is an invigorating scent that I think would work well in insect repellents.
