๐ฟ Introduction Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil is a radiant, uplifting, and intensely lemony essence distilled from the glossy leaves of the Backhousia citriodora tree โ a treasured botanical native to the rainforests of Queensland, Australia. Its aroma is bright, sparkling, and pure , often described as the โqueen of lemon-scented oilsโ for its exceptional freshness and clarity.
