First discovered in 1797, Kunzea Essential Oil is an incredibly beneficial Australian Essential Oil that has been seen to assist in all aspects of life. Australia has one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems and like all Australian Essential Oils, Kunzea Oil is not natively found anywhere else in the world.

Known to be extremely similar to Tea Tree Essential Oil, Kunzea Oil carries a pleasantly earthy, balanced and slightly spiced, medicinal aroma. Regarding extraction methods, it is steam distilled from the aerial parts of the Kunzea ambigua botanical species.

Whilst essential oils are natural products, they are extremely potent and can cause serious harm if used incorrectly. For this reason, we recommend the following:

• In line with the Therapeutic Goods Act, we do not recommend ingesting essential oils without the guidance of a registered Aromatherapist or Naturopath.
• Avoid using Kunzea Essential Oil during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding.
• We recommend storing your Essential Oils in a cool, dry place at room temperature, ensuring that they are not directly exposed to sunlight and are out of reach of children or pets.
• Kunzea Essential Oil is very concentrated and is likely to cause irritation or reactions if applied directly to the skin. For this reason, it is important to first dilute your essential oils before using topically (on the skin). Our recommended dilution percentages can be found under the ‘Directions for Use’ section.
