This plant comes from the myrtle family and is native to Australia and North Africa. The oil is extracted from its leaves and branches, and it is considered a strong antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory treatment. In skin care, it is the perfect ingredient for products meant for acne, problem skin, minor wounds and burns.
In aromatherapy, Niaouli oil is stimulating, enhances concentration and is a tonic. Additionally, it helps with anxiety, lethargy and depression.
