Optima Naturals Manuka Essential Oil, 5 ml

Manuka, also known as South Sea myrtle, belongs to the tea tree family. It is a shrub with small leaves and pointed whitish petals. For many hundreds of years, manuka oil has been known to the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Maori, as a skincare product.

Application as body oil: Manuka oil is so special because it is the biggest "competitor" to hyaluronidase in terms of its properties. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that is found in high concentrations in the venom of bees, scorpions and snakes as well as in some pathogenic microorganisms (e.g. pneumococci). It also nourishes and is found in many anti-dandruff shampoos.
