Profile

Leptospermum scoperium is extracted from a small bushy native shrub that grows wild and abundantly in New Zealand. It likes areas of acidic and low nutrient soils and grows well in areas with sand dunes and mountains. The branches and leaves are covered in silky white hairs which release essential oil when rubbed. The oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs. Manuka Essential Oil is a clear yellow liquid with a distinctive, spicy, herbaceous, and fresh aroma. 

Some researchers indicated that Manuka may be twice as effective as Australian Tea Tree oil against some bacteria (staphylococcus and streptococcus). 

 FACT:  Manuka oil has been extensively used for generations in New Zealand for its antimicrobial properties. In years gone by it was renowned for its use as a tea substitute by sailors visiting Aotearoa, hence the name ‘tea-tree’ became known, although Manuka is quite different from Tea-Tree.

AUROMA QUALITY

AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:

  1. BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
  2. CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
  3. GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
  4. COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
  5. WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
  6. EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
  7. ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
