Why does Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil smell like lemon?
✓ Natural plant aroma
The lemon-scented tea tree is a variety of tea tree whose leaves contain naturally occurring compounds that give off a fresh citrus aroma. Crush a leaf in your hand and you'd smell lemon straight from the plant.
✓ Steam distilled in Australia
Steam distillation extracts the essential oil from the plant material without adding any chemicals. The process preserves the natural aroma compounds exactly as they exist in the leaves. Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil is produced in Australia from locally grown plant material.
What is Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil best used for?
✓ Best spots
2 to 3 drops in the Dish Pump with Dishwashing Liquid for a fresh scent while washing up. A few drops in the toilet bowl after a Loo Cleaner Tablet dissolves. Also fine in the Atomiser Spray Bottle at 3 drops max.
⚠ Not in Foaming Spray Bottle
Despite not being true lemon oil, Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil shares some of the aroma compounds that give citrus oils their scent. Those same compounds accelerate wear on the Foaming Spray Bottle mechanism, so keep it out of the foamer. Use Eucalyptus Oil there instead.
For reference, the three essential oils in the range:
Zesty, uplifting. Great in dish and loo. Not for foamers.
A blended oil. Soft, soothing, floral. Popular for laundry.
The fresher alternative to regular tea tree oil. 100% pure, naturally distilled, produced in Australia. No additives.
The natural pairing for Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil. Add 2 to 3 drops to your Dish Pump for fresh scent while washing up.
