This message is from Mark Kerr who owns the company who produces the manuka in

question. I truly believe this oil is wonderful , and after meeting the man, am

very impressed with his thoroughness.

RE: Manuka oil

 

 

Hi there,

Thanks for your email below.

The testing info. I provided was with regards to the antibacterial / antifungal

activity rather than safety data. Manuka Oil (Leptospermum Scoparium Oil) has

been evaluated for safety and skin irritation and has achieved a listing under

ELINECS (European Inventory of Chemicals) which required an evaluation of

safety to man and the environment. This was done done at enormous expense by us

the producer. You may wish to let him know.

Just one point from your email - it should be East Cape not North Cape.

 

We really appreciate your support for our Oil and we will continue to research

and promote this oil as we also believe it has a lot to offer.

 

Best regards Mark Kerr

Re: Manuka EO, looking for info

 

 

Every condition you mention can be treated just as well with known

tested oils. I am not against Manuka on principle, just on people

who put the cart before the horses and start selling oils before

anyone knows long term or short term safety. It should be for the

producers to get the necessary skin testing done. In many cases they

can get Government grants but do not bother. By the way, since

dandruff is simply dead skin, any shampoo will remove it. Often

though it is caused by over-use of shampoos so the answer to that

problem should be obvious.

scoparium ct. North Cape. It contains significant amounts of three

triketones which are distinctive to this chemotype. CT North Cape has

been shown to have very high antibacterial activity and some

antifungal activity. To my knowledge, it has not undergone any formal

skin safety testing as of this date, but has been known to cause

dermatitis and mild irritation in sensitive individuals.

for several years and have not experienced any problems with it (nor

have my clients), although I would not recommend neat usage. I have

found it to be highly effective for fungal infections of the skin and

nails... much more so than tea tree or various thyme chemotypes. Also

helpful for scrapes and rashes. It is one of the very few EO's I have

found to be truly effective for dandruff and dry scalp.
