About
Manuka leaf water — a New Zealand native botanical with gentle, balancing skincare properties.
Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) leaf water contains leptospermone, flavonoids, and volatile oils that contribute to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. While manuka essential oil has been studied for its potent antimicrobial activity, the leaf water (hydrosol) form is considerably milder. Not restricted under EU cosmetics law. The ingredient is valued in natural cosmetics for its skin-balancing and clarifying properties.
