The Distillation Process
 Lemon Myrtle essential oil is extracted
from the leaves and young branchlets of
plantation grown Lemon Myrtle trees by
steam distillation.
Leaves are freshly harvested and distilled
immediately to ensure the highest quality oil.
Harvested leaves are placed into large
stainless steel stills, steam is introduced,
Lemon Myrtle’s volatile elements (essential
oil) evaporates from the leaf with the steam.
The condensation process turns this vapour
mix into liquid (water) and essential oil.
The essential oil floats on top of the water
and is separated off. Regular harvesting
ensures fresh supplies of our essential oil
all year round.
Wild Lemon Myrtle trees have never been
harvested by Refreshed or any of the farmers
that supply Refreshed. |
