General
The Lemon Scented Myrtle is a native of the coastal rainforest area between Taree in NSW and Cairns in Qld

Volatility

Oil should be stored in a dark glass container in a cool dry storage area or kept under refrigeration.

Exposure to sunlight will also lead to oil deterioration.

The oil volatises when heated and so should not be exposed to heat.

For convenience and prevention of over use it can be added to other oils.

The oil bonds well with vitamin E or vitamin A based products.
