Niaouli Oil comes from the young leaves of Melaleuca quinquenervia, an evergreen tree or shrub of the Myrtaceae family native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the French Pacific Islands. It typically grows 10 to 20 m tall and has a spongy white, brownish or gray flexible stem, pointed leaves, and delicate flowers of cream, pale yellow, green or red.

It is said to have been given its botanical name by British explorer Captain James Cook when he set out from Australia in the mid-1700s.

Traditionally, niaouli has been valued for its cleansing properties, which are widely considered to boost immunity. Centuries ago, it is believed that babies were wrapped in nioli bark to provide strength and protection in communities where trees grew wild. The traditional use of niaouli that first caught European attention was in the 19th century when the leaves of the tree were used by New Caledonian coffee pickers to treat wounds and prevent infection. Later, after its purifying properties were discovered in France, niaouli oil became widely used as a cleaning agent in hospital maternity wards. Niaouli trees were first introduced to the United States in 1900.

Today, niaouli oil, which is widely used in various cosmetic products such as lotions, creams and soaps, offers many benefits thanks to the active ingredients it contains.
