Lema Oil : Combination of Pure Manuka & Pure Tea Tree Oils.

Lema^® Oil	New Zealand Patent No: 332694
	Australia Patent No: 768249
	USA Patent No: 2635991

A blend of high potency fractions from:

	Leptospermum scoparium (Manuka Oil) ( 100% Pure) and
	Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil) ( 100% Pure)

It is well known that the Essential Oil distilled from the Leptospermum scoparium (Manuka Oil) has low toxicity and an excellent potency particularly against gram positive micro-organisms.

It is also know that Essential Oil distilled from Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil) has relatively low toxicity and a good potency, particularly against gram negative micro-organisms.

Both oils also have quite strong distinctive perfumes.

Why Lema Oil?

There is a clear need for a natural, low toxicity, broad spectrum, high potency oil, with a lower aroma level, particularly for use in cosmetics and medical applications, and for skin antiseptics.

What is Lema Oil?

Lema Oil is a mixture of the most microbiologically active fractions of Leptospermum scoparium oil (Manuka Oil), and the most microbiologically active fractions of Melaleuca alternifolia oil (Tea Tree Oil). The resulting oil is broad spectrum and potent, and also has reduced perfume.

General Information

Product Name:

Lema Oil

Product Description:

Blend Fractions of Leptospermum Scoparium Oil and Melaleuca Alternifolia Oil

Source:

Leaves and small stems of wild East Cape Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka) and leaves and small stems of Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree).

Functions:

Antibacterial, Antifungal, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-acne.

Common Applications:

In Cosmetics:

Such an oil could be used for its antimicrobial properties, and because of low use rates, any natural perfume associated with it would be diluted out. Useful as a natural preservative.

In Medical Applications:

Essential Oils often help the healing process so Lema Oil being a broad spectrum, highly potent, low toxicity, antimicrobial could find many uses where topical applications to combat infections are called for:

Such applications could include impregnation of gauze applied to trauma sites and skin infections.

In Skin Antisepsis:

In critical areas such as hospitals, it is increasingly vital to have access to highly effective, low toxicity broad spectrum preparations. Lema Oil can be incorporated in scrubs and hand sprays.

Increasingly food handlers are transmitting infection. Because of its high potency and low toxicity Lema Oil offers an ideal active ingredient where repeated use calls for an effective antimicrobial which will not cause skin problems.
