Prince of the Maquis, Myrtle has long been appreciated in Corsica for its virtues on beauty and well-being. Both soothing and invigorating, it proves to be a valuable aid on tired or irritated skin. Astringent and revitalizing, it improves skin quality and fights against aging. Milder than its cousin Eucalyptus, Myrtle is also ideal for creating a calming atmosphere for the mind or purifying the respiratory tract, even for the most sensitive individuals. It is also a decongestant and firming essential oil, as useful for clearing a blocked nose as it is for treating varicose veins or stretch marks.
