If you're looking for a natural lemon myrtle cleaning product that actually works, look no further. Lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is a Queensland native with the highest known concentration of citral — the compound responsible for its extraordinary antimicrobial power. It's more effective than most synthetic cleaners at eliminating surface bacteria, yet entirely free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances or toxic residues.

At Lemon Myrtle Products, we've built our entire range around this incredible Australian native. Here's why switching to lemon myrtle cleaning products is one of the best things you can do for your home and family.

Why Lemon Myrtle is the Ultimate Natural Cleaner

Lemon myrtle essential oil is one of the world's most potent natural antimicrobials — and it's grown right here in Australia. Extracted from Backhousia citriodora, a rainforest tree native to Southeast Queensland, lemon myrtle oil boasts the highest citral content of any known plant, making it significantly more powerful than tea tree oil in several key areas.

At Lemon Myrtle Products, we offer 100% pure lemon myrtle essential oil in 10ml and 25ml sizes — bottled fresh in small batches with no additives.
