Manuka oil (Certified organic, steam distilled)

Manuka is one of three Tea Trees indigenous to Australia and New Zealand.  Manuka oil from New Zealand has been confirmed as having the highest antimicrobial activity, evidence indicating that it is up to 20 times more potent than Australian Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) oil with the power to kill 39 different micro-organisms in particular streptococci and staphylococci bacteria as well as fungi.

Manuka oil is much gentler on the skin than Australian Tea Tree oil and has powerful healing properties which Australian tea Tree oil doesn't.
