Down Under Enterprises International Honey Myrtle Oil sometimes called ‘Banbar’ or “Marsh Honey Myrtle” this relative of Tea Tree is native to Southwestern Australia. The genus name derivation is quite interesting: Melaleuca from the Greek “melas”, meaning black and “leukos”, meaning white; referring to black marks on the white trunks of some species due to fire. The species name, teretifolia, is from Latin “teres”, meaning rounded; and “folius” meaning leaf, referring to the leaves of this species which are round in cross section.In perfumery it is considered a top to middle note scent and blends well with citrus and herbaceous aromas. An aged oil can contribute to irritancy. This essential oil is best stored in cold conditions for extending the shelf life to about three years. Its attributes include being useful against microbes, bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Unlike its relatives, Tea Tree, Niaouli and Lavender Tea Tree (Rosalina), this unique oil has the highest citral content of all the Melaleucas, contributing to its antimicrobial and antifungal activity.
