How to use

Grounding Evening Diffusion

🏅 Headline
Bring the calm of a remote coastline into your living room.

✨ What you need
- Ultrasonic diffuser
- water to the fill line
- 3-5 drops Manuka

🤷‍♀️ How to do it
1. 1) Fill the diffuser to the marked line with water. 2) Add 3-5 drops of Manuka. 3) Switch on and let the aroma settle for 20-30 minutes. 4) Add a drop of lavender to soften the herbaceous edge.

💡 Pro tip
Manuka is rich and dry, so start low and let it build; it rewards patience.

🏅 Headline
A considered, minimal blend for a slow evening skincare moment.

1. 1) Add 30 ml of carrier oil to a clean glass bottle. 2) Add 3-6 drops of Manuka (roughly 0.5-1% for facial use). 3) Cap and roll gently to combine. 4) Patch test, then warm two or three drops between the palms and press gently into cleansed skin.

💡 Pro tip
Keep facial dilution lower than body dilution; less is genuinely more here.

Warm the bottle briefly between your hands first; the aroma opens up beautifully.

A comforting, grounding warmth that helps the whole body feel unwound.

BLEND IDEAS

Southern Coastline

3 drops Manuka + 2 drops Lavender + 1 drop Cedarwood in the diffuser.

Honeyed Earth

Purpose

  • A warm, complex massage accord for slow unwinding.

  • Recipe

The Hardy Shrub of Aotearoa

A treasured plant of New Zealand, distilled leaf by leaf.

Manuka grows across New Zealand, thriving on exposed coastlines and rugged hillsides where little else takes hold.

The plant has been valued by Maori for generations, and holds a respected place in traditional knowledge of the land.

Oil from the East Cape region is especially prized for its unusually high triketone content, the marker of a premium distillation.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • For skin use, dilute to 1-3% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or argan; use the lower end of that range for facial blends.

  • Patch test

Apply a small diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.

  • Children

Keep out of reach of children; for children over 3, use only at very low dilution and consult a qualified aromatherapist.

  • Pregnancy

If pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before use.

  • Pets

Keep away from pets; diffuse only in ventilated spaces and never apply to animals.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat and light; being sesquiterpene-rich rather than citrus-like, it keeps comparatively well.
