The first known use of the Hedge Apple for its health benefits goes back to ancient times when it was used by native Indians in North America as a cure for a variety of skin troubles. They found that the milky sap from the Hedge Apple, when applied directly on the skin, would cure and relieve cuts, burns, itches and even eye conditions.

​

In more recent years the process has been refined and the extremely effective Pomifera Oil is now extracted from the seeds of the Hedge Apple and has become one of the rarest and most coveted skin care oils.

​

Being native to North America, the Maclura Pomifera Tree is unusual in Australia but our farm in North East Victoria has hosted these rare trees for around 100 years. For decades we have watched the Hedge Apples fall to the ground only to be enjoyed by the cockatoos who have always tried (unsuccessfully) to fly off with the bright green balls.

​

Recently we have learnt of the incredible capabilities of Pomifera Oil and we are now very excited to be able to share the health and beauty benefits of this oil with you – exclusively!

​

Being an essential oil, Pomifera Oil is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and has antioxidant properties making it excellent for maintaining skin health. It hydrates the skin leaving it feeling plump and youthful. It packs a high volume of Omega-6, protecting the skin from harmful UV damage and reduces the signs of ageing by promoting moisture and elasticity in the skin. The fast-acting nature of this incredible and untapped oil is truly impressive.

POMM was established by our family in 2019 to offer one of the rarest and most coveted essential oils for all to enjoy.
