Myrtle Essential Oil

MYRTLE ESSENTIAL OIL (Myrtus communis)

 

Myrtle, also known as green myrtle, is an evergreen shrub native to Southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, reaching up to 5 meters in height. With its fragrant white or pink flowers and lush deep green leaves, myrtle has been treasured for centuries for both its aromatic and medicinal properties. The dried and fresh leaves of myrtle have been traditionally used for healing and as a flavorful spice. Even its bark and roots have found use in tanning leather.

 

A Plant Steeped in History and Mythology

 

In Greek mythology, myrtle was linked to Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, symbolizing elegance and romance. In ancient Persia, myrtle was considered a sacred plant, while in 16th-century Europe, it was a key ingredient in the famous skin lotion known as "angel water."

 

Pure, Wildcrafted, and Rich in Aroma

 

At Goya Botanicals, we source our Myrtle Essential Oil from the wild harvested myrtle leaves found in the pristine mountains of southwest Turkey. We use unpressurized steam distillation to preserve the highest quality of the oil, which is rich in beneficial compounds like α-pinene, 1,8-cineole (Eucalyptol), and linalool. This results in a floral, herbaceous aroma that is both calming and invigorating.
