It has documented antimicrobial activity of its own, although the evidence is more variable than for Lemon Myrtle or Tea Tree. Here, it also changes how the formula behaves aromatically. Tea Tree on its own can read strongly medicinal; Lemon Myrtle is bright and beautiful but intensely citral-led. Lavender softens those edges, introduces a light floral-herbal note, and rounds the blend so that its cleansing materials remain clearly present without making the room smell clinical or severe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: block; margin: 0; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eTogether, the three materials give Clear Air™ what we wanted from it: a bright, cleansing household blend that still smells beautiful enough to use every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"display: block; clear: both; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #B8923A; margin: 38px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 3.
