          Guava leaf essential oil is made from the leaves of the guava tree. This is, technically, a member of the myrtle family and has leaves similar to the standard myrtle trees. However, they differ in that they are a bit more yellowish in color and have minty and woody fragrance.

          The plant is a flower producing bush or tree, but the white to green blooms are not very fragrant and are not used for essential oil production. Guava leaf essential oils are typically made of wild harvested leaves and steam or hydro distilled. 

          Upon being dried, the leaves offer a very strong minty aroma, with a sweeter almond note.  Yet, the essential oil itself has a wood/mint/citrusy and smoky aroma that blends with rose and lavender to enhance a floral, sweet and fruity aromatic blend. It is viewed as mostly a middle note that works well with most citrus scents and fragrances, too, including lime, orange, and lemon.

          Guava leaf essential oil is relaxing and uplifting. Its use use on dermatitis, psoriasis and soothe dry skin and eczema. It is popular ingredient used in a toothpaste and mouthwash.
