What makes East Cape Mānuka Oil unique?
East Cape Manuka trees have a evolved a High Triketone chemotype producing naturally high βeta-Triketone levels which have powerful anti-bacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties.
East Cape Mānuka Oil is 30 times more powerful than Tea Tree oil (Cooke & Cooke,1994), and more powerful than Mānuka honey against bacteria that cause common skin infections (Girma et al., 2019 and TPL).
How is RaKiwi Mānuka Oil produced?
Mānuka leaves and twigs are harvested from plantations and wild using customised equipment.
Steam distillation process is applied to extract the Mānuka oil, and steam condensation separate the oil from the hydrosol (water with other manuka compounds).1 Tonne of foliage produces approximately 3 - 4 litres of Mānuka Oil.
Mānuka oil is tested by independent laboratories, then packed in batches based on respective triketone levels, ready for export.
