Botanical Name: Kunzea ambigua

Origin: Our Kunzea Ambigua essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and terminal branches of the Kunzea ambigua shrub, a plant indigenous to the diverse ecosystems of eastern Australia, including Tasmania.¹ It thrives in coastal regions and often grows in sandy soils, embodying the resilient spirit of the Australian bush.² This remarkable plant is also commonly known as White Kunzea, Tick Bush, or Poverty Bush.³

Scent Profile: Immerse yourself in the invigorating and uniquely Australian aroma of Kunzea Ambigua essential oil. Its scent is often described as fresh, crisp, and slightly medicinal with clean, woody undertones and a hint of spice.² Some liken its fragrance to the pure, revitalising air of the Australian wilderness, offering a truly grounding and uplifting olfactory experience.

Therapeutic Benefits: Kunzea Ambigua essential oil is gaining worldwide recognition for its impressive array of therapeutic properties. It is highly valued for:
