Myrtle essential oil comes from steam-distilling the leaves and twigs of Myrtus communis, the evergreen shrub once woven into wedding crowns and sacred to Venus. Ours favors green myrtle for a brighter cut, opening fresh and clear with a cool eucalyptus edge that softens into a faint honeyed sweetness.

Dilution & Safety

Myrtle essential oil is a concentrated botanical extract, not meant for direct skin contact. Dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before topical use, and patch test on a small area first. Keep away from eyes, children, and pets, and never take internally. Store the sealed bottle away from heat and light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Myrtle Essential Oil pure and undiluted?
Yes. Every bottle is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, distilled from Myrtus communis with nothing added or removed. You can review our published Certificate of Analysis for batch-specific purity details before you buy.
What's the difference between green myrtle and other myrtle oils?
We distill green myrtle, drawn from fresher leaf and twig growth, which gives a brighter, cooler profile than oils cut from older, woodier material. It shares a family resemblance with eucalyptus and tea tree but carries its own soft, faintly honeyed sweetness underneath.
What does myrtle essential oil smell like, and which oils does it pair with?
Myrtle opens fresh and clear, with a cool eucalyptus-like edge that gives way to a soft, faintly honeyed floral undertone unlike sharper leaf oils. It sits gracefully alongside lemon, lavender, rosemary, and neroli in a blend.
How do I dilute myrtle essential oil for skin use?
Combine roughly 0.5% to 2% myrtle with a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond before applying to skin, and always patch test on your inner arm first. Never apply myrtle directly, undiluted, to the skin.
What sizes do you offer, and can I order wholesale?
Myrtle essential oil is available in ten sizes, starting at 0.5 oz and running all the way up to 400 lbs, so home users, small-batch makers, and wholesale buyers can all order the exact quantity they need.
Does the price per ounce change with size?
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as you move up the size ladder, and our largest 400 lb size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest 0.5 oz bottle, making bulk sizes the better value for high-volume use.
Do bulk orders come with lab documentation?
Yes, every size we sell, from the smallest bottle to a 400 lb drum, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis. If you need anything further for your records, contact us before placing a bulk order.
Which size should I start with?
A 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is plenty for testing myrtle in a diffuser or a first skincare blend. Regular users of soap, candles, or cologne blends usually settle into the 4 oz to 16 oz range, while formulators and resellers move up to the 5 lb sizes and beyond.
What is your shipping policy?
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a little extra handling time before they leave our facility. All orders, large and small, are processed through checkout on our Shopify store.
Does myrtle essential oil change color or thickness over time?
Fresh myrtle typically pours as a thin, pale yellow to nearly clear liquid. With time and air exposure it can deepen slightly in color and thicken a touch, which is normal for this oil family. Keep the cap tight and limit exposure to light and heat to slow the change.
