Stop mould coming back.

Asthma Australia, 2022.

The window in our office. Every month I cleaned it and every month it came back. It did not matter what we did, or what we used. It came back.

The next bit is worth reading. It is what made me stop.

The US EPA doesn't recommend bleach on mould. Verbatim: "The use of a chemical or biocide that kills organisms such as mold (chlorine bleach, for example) is not recommended as a routine practice."

Bleach pulls the colour out. It doesn't penetrate. The water it leaves behind is what the next spores need to land and grow. You've cleaned the spot and watered it.

This is why First Light is designed to combat mould spores, not mould growth. If you address the spores in the air, you can stop it from returning.

First Light has six oils. Nothing else. Clove + Litsea Cubeba are the primary antifungals (citral disrupts ergosterol biosynthesis in the mould's cell membrane, eugenol acts on the membrane directly). Tea tree + eucalyptus add their own antifungal action (terpinen-4-ol + 1,8-cineole damage the cell membrane by a different mechanism). Peppermint contributes a membrane-active antifungal layer. Cedarwood acts as a natural fixative, slowing evaporation.

So... you can keep wiping the mould, or you can put the bottle in your diffuser. Either works for a week. Only one works for a year.

Mould remediators are. This is how we got the idea for First Light. We had a place that needed mould remediation. After the plaster and all visible mould was removed, they fogged the house. You can remove plaster, wipe surfaces and throw out mouldy items. But if you don't treat the air, it will come back.

Because we did not want to fog our home every day, we turned to essential oils. They are well-documented and powerful antifungals. Unfortunately essential oils have a perception problem. The category got swallowed by the wellness industry. Sleep, vibes, candles. People hear "essential oil" and think diffuser-and-incense, not antifungal compound.

Hi. I'm Ben. Now that we have gone through the science, I would like to tell you why we started Aurala.

We tried everything. It did not matter how often we cleaned or what we cleaned with. The mould kept returning and it was tough to see. The chemicals when we cleaned were bad for our family and the house felt heavy and itchy.

After talking to a mould remediator and having trouble with mould at work, I knew that I needed to address the mould spores in the air but couldn't find anything natural online. So I researched various essential oils and their impact on mould and after rounds of testing we settled on First Light, made from six oils, each oil contributing to the blend. Independently lab tested giving a 99.2% reduction in black mould on contact.

And the part I should not have to say but will anyway.

We are five months in. We have a handful of reviews. Nobody really knows us yet. The only way a brand like ours grows is by getting the bottle into the hands of people who are skeptical and letting them write the review they were going to write anyway. Good or bad. Especially bad. The negative reviews are where we learn what to fix.

If First Light doesn't help your mould, hit reply within 60 days with one photo and we refund the full price same day. You keep the bottle. No phone call, no return shipping, no haggling.
