Does Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil contain lemon oil?
✓ 100% pure tea tree oil
A single-ingredient essential oil taken from lemon-scented tea tree leaves. No carrier oils, no blends, no dilution. Cold pressed and made in Australia.
✓ Nothing added
No lemon essential oil, no added fragrance, no scent boosters and no synthetic fragrances. The aroma is already present in the plant material it comes from.
Why does Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil smell like lemon?
✓ The aroma comes from the plant
The lemon-scented tea tree is a variety of tea tree whose leaves contain aroma compounds that give off a fresh citrus scent. Crush a leaf in your hand and you would smell lemon straight from the plant.
✓ Nothing added along the way
Because Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil is a 100% pure essential oil with no synthetic fragrances and no carrier oils, what you smell in the bottle is what is in the leaf. It is cold pressed and made in Australia.
What is Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil best used for, and how many drops?
✓ How many drops, and where
5 drops in a load of washing or in your Spray Mop bottle. 2 to 3 drops with Dishwashing Liquid in your Dish Pump for a fresh scent while washing up. A few drops in the toilet bowl along with a Loo Cleaner Tab.
⚠ 3 drops maximum in the Atomiser
Stick to 3 drops in the Atomiser Spray Bottle. Any more can clog or damage the atomiser mechanism. Shake well before each use, because essential oils do not dissolve in water-based cleaners and will otherwise sit on top.
⚠ Not in the Foaming Spray Bottle
Although it is not a 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.
How should I store and handle it?
✓ The bottle and where to keep it
Essential oils do not dissolve in water-based cleaners, so always mix or shake thoroughly after adding. Left to stand, the oil will separate out again.
⚠ Avoid neat contact with skin
This is a 100% pure essential oil, so it is strong straight from the bottle. Avoid direct contact with skin in its undiluted form, and keep it out of reach of children.
A 100% pure essential oil, cold pressed in Australia, with a zesty, uplifting scent. A couple of drops adds fragrance to your dishwashing routine or the loo. Not for foamers.
Fresh, bright and clean, and the one to reach for if you want to scent the Foaming Spray Bottle.
