Description
Niaouli essential oil is a fresh, camphoraceous oil celebrated for its gentle yet effective respiratory, antimicrobial, and skin-supporting properties. Steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca quinquenervia tree, Niaouli is a close botanical relative of Tea Tree but offers a softer, sweeter aroma. With its powerful yet non-irritating nature, Niaouli is a favorite for immune support, respiratory care, and purifying blends—especially for sensitive skin.
