Why niaouli? Niaouli aromatherapy essential oil has similar benefits to its more well-known counterpart, tree tree, including a sweet, fresh, and intense aroma. Niaouli is naturally purifying, which makes it an effective householder cleaner. You can even use it to control pests on your prize veggies in the garden or on any unsightly insect bites after a day of play outdoors. Niaouli is also a useful skin support for a healthy and radiant complexion.
Quality Assured: Our organic niaouli essential oil is responsibly sourced from Madagascar. The essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and young twigs. Every batch of oil is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and produced without the use of genetic engineering, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides. Additionally, our expert aromatherapists here at the Apothecary Shoppe personally assess all of our oils—using touch, taste, smell, and lab analyses—to ensure that your essential oil is suitable for use and entirely free of adulterants.
Independent third-party lab reports including GC/MS and pesticide testing results are available upon request. Please send a request to apothecary@achs.edu and include the essential oil Latin name and lot number; results include a comparative analysis with ISO and the Pharmacopeia when available.
