Niaouli Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Niaouli Essential Oil is a fresh, penetrating, and cleansing essence distilled from the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca quinquenervia , a tree native to Australia, New Caledonia, and Southeast Asia. Belonging to the same family as Tea Tree ( Melaleuca alternifolia ) and Cajeput ( Melaleuca cajuputi ), Niaouli is distinguished by its sweeter, gentler, and slightly fruity aroma .
Traditionally valued for its respiratory support, immune-boosting, and skin-cleansing properties , Niaouli is often described as the milder cousin of Tea Tree , making it ideal for sensitive users. In perfumery, it lends a bright, camphoraceous-herbal top note that refreshes and purifies compositions.
At Herbsmetics, Niaouli is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests explore how this oil balances purification with gentleness , offering a softer alternative to Tea Tree.
