[YL Fact] Kunzea／Tea Tree ／Manuka 精油有什麼區別？

Kunzea昆士亞生長於澳洲南岸和及塔斯曼尼亞海邊，數個世界紀以來一直活躍於當地文化。昆士亞的球形頂部及形狀古怪的花朵讓它被稱為“White Cloud （白雲）”。我們通過蒸餾植物的葉子和綠色小枝來提取精油。

Kunzea具有與茶樹精油類似的特性和用途，但在局部使用時具有更令人愉悅的香味和更溫和的感覺。雖然香氣辛辣，帶有木香，但也有甜美的香味。它含有高水平的α-pine烯和桉葉素，可以在運動鍛練後使用它來舒緩疲勞的肌肉，也可以添加到日常護膚程序中。將它局部塗抹在臉上，有助於減少瑕疵的出現。由於Kunzea的香味甜美，也非常適合擴香，可以幫助淨化空氣中的異味，營造輕鬆的氛圍和清新空氣。

是Young Living複方精油Purification®其中的一種油，茶樹精油也被稱為Melaleuca alternifolia或Melaleuca油。該樹來自澳洲和法國，利用蒸餾法於從植物的葉子中提取精油。茶樹中天然存在的關鍵成分是松油烯-4-醇，γ-萜品烯和α-萜品烯。它長期以來一直是美容行業的最愛，因為它具有無數的美容效果。

茶樹的香氣非常木質和陽剛，並不經常用於擴香，因為香味非常強烈。它更常用於局部應用，具有清潔皮膚的功效，有助於保持皮膚健康，減少瑕疵。人們喜歡將茶樹添加到自製除臭劑和家用清潔劑中，因為它可以幫助消除麝香的氣味。您也可以將它塗在腳趾甲或腳上，以幫助保持健康的皮膚和指甲的外觀。

麥盧卡精油跟茶樹一樣屬於桃金孃科，並從Leptospermum scoparium（麥盧卡）樹中蒸餾而來。也是利用蒸餾法從樹木的葉子和小莖中提取精油。麥盧卡樹是新西蘭和澳洲原產的。麥盧卡精油中關鍵的天然成分是leptospermone，copaene和isoleptopsermone。

麥盧卡精油是這三種油中最甜和最溫和的味道。它聞起來非常豐富，溫暖，令人愉快。由於其溫和的香味和眾多的皮膚益處，普遍人們喜歡將麥盧卡添加到我們的日常美容養生中。它可以很容易地添加到您最喜愛的皮膚產品中，以支持健康的皮膚或用作斑點治療，以減少瑕疵的外觀。事實上，麥盧卡精油是我們的最大強度痤瘡治療中使用的油之一。您還可以將Manuka添加到Thieves®家用清潔劑中，或者將其與薄荷一起塗抹，以幫助增加家中的香味。

What is the difference between Kunzea, Tea Tree, and Manuka essential oils? 

The kunzea plant is native to the southern coast of Australia and is referred to as “White Cloud” for its bulbous tops and whimsical blossoms. It grows wild along the southern coasts of Australia and Tasmania and has been used by native cultures for centuries. We extract Kunzea essential oil by steam distilling the leaves and green branchlets of the botanical.

Kunzea has similar properties and uses as Tea Tree essential oil, but it has a more pleasant scent and a milder sensation when applied topically. The aroma is spicy and woodsy but has a sweet scent as well. It contains high levels of alpha-pinene and eucalyptol, which make it awesome to use after a workout to soothe fatigued muscles. It is also great to add to your daily skin care routine. Apply it topically on your face to help reduce the appearance of blemishes. Since the scent of Kunzea is sweet, we also love diffusing it! Diffuse it in your home to help purify the air from unwanted odors and to create a relaxing atmosphere and a refreshing respiratory experience.

One of the oils used in our popular Purification® blend, Tea Tree essential oil is also known as Melaleuca Alternifolia or Melaleuca oil. This tree originates from Australia and France, and steam distillation is used to extract the essential oil from the leaves of the plant. The key naturally occurring constituents in Tea Tree are terpinen-4-ol, gamma-terpinene, and alpha-terpinene. It has long been a favorite in the beauty industry because of its countless beauty benefits.

Tea Tree’s aroma is very woodsy and masculine; it’s not often diffused because the scent is very strong and potent. It is more commonly used for topical application for its skin-cleansing properties and its ability to help maintain healthy-looking skin and reduce the appearance of blemishes. People love adding Tea Tree to homemade deodorants and household cleaners because it can help eliminate musky odors. You can also apply it on toenails or feet to help maintain the appearance of healthy skin and nails. 

Manuka essential oil comes from the same botanical family as Tea Tree (Myrtaceae) and is distilled from the Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) tree. Steam distillation is used to extract the essential oil from the leaves and small stems of the tree, which is native to New Zealand and Australia. The key naturally occurring constituents in Manuka essential oil are leptospermone, copaene, and isoleptopsermone. 

Manuka essential oil smells the sweetest and most mild of these three oils. It smells very rich, warm, and pleasant. Because of its gentle fragrance and numerous skin benefits, we love adding Manuka to our daily beauty regimen. It is so easy to add to your favorite skin products to support healthy-looking skin or to use as a spot treatment to reduce the appearance of blemishes. In fact, Manuka essential oil is one of the oils used in our Maximum-Strength Acne Treatment. You can also add Manuka to Thieves® Household Cleaner or diffuse it with Peppermint to help spice up the scent of your home. We love applying it along the bottoms of our feet after a long day!
