Frequently asked questions about Australian Nerolina
What is Nerolina?
Melaleuca quinquenervia (CT linalool chemotype), a softer, sweeter relative of tea tree. The 'CT linalool' designation means this particular cultivar produces oil naturally rich in linalool — the same calming active found in lavender.
What is Nerolina used for?
A versatile native oil used in blends for relaxation, skin support, and gentle respiratory care. Often described as 'tea tree without the medicinal edge'.
Is Nerolina the same as Niaouli?
They're cousins — same botanical species (M. quinquenervia) but different chemotypes. Niaouli is the cineole-rich version; Nerolina is the linalool-rich version. Same plant, very different aromas.
