Niaouli Oil Characteristics

Niaouli Oil is clear to pale-yellow or greenish in colour with a strong, camphoraceous scent. Its aroma is often described as being reminiscent of Tea Tree Oil and Eucalyptus Oil – although the scent of Niaouli Essential Oil is notably subtler.

Niaouli Oil Uses and Benefits

In primitive times, the Niaouli plant was often used as an antiseptic to prevent infection, treat wounds, and as a natural sanitiser or disinfectant. Today, Niaouli Oil is still utilised in the cosmetic, cleaning, and pharmaceutical sectors in natural cosmetic formulations, skincare ranges, wound care treatments, and cleaning products.
