Myrtle Essential Oil

According to the myth, Myrtle was a favourite of the Greek goddess Venus. As such, the scent of myrtle is associated with lasting love.

Myrtle oil's traditional uses are very close to its modern ones. Ancient Romans used the herb to cleanse the skin, freshen breath, and disguise odours, all of which the oil is still used for today.

Myrtle essential oil can be incredibly beneficial for skin, getting rid of excess oil and clearing dead skin cells, as well as cleansing pores.

Many people use myrtle oil in oil-pulling to neutralise bad breath, and it also acts as a natural deodorant, thanks to its aromatic, antifungal properties.

Our 100% Pure Myrtle Essential Oil has a fresh, herby aroma with sweet notes, and is yellowish-green in colour. It is extracted via steam distillation from the leaves and twigs of the myrtle tree.

Connected mythologically to lasting love, myrtle has been used in the wedding bouquets of royal brides since Queen Victoria and was the main ingredient of a popular sixteenth-century skin lotion known as 'angel's water'.
