Tea Tree Essential Oil 50ml – Melaleuca Alternifolia | Steam Distilled Australia

Discover the clean, medicinal clarity of pure Tea Tree Essential Oil, steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca Alternifolia sourced from Australia. Fresh, sharp and powerfully clean — with a crisp, camphorous clarity, a clean, green medicinal freshness and a warm, slightly spicy woody depth — Tea Tree is one of the most iconic, widely recognised and universally trusted essential oils in aromatherapy, natural skincare and home care formulations.

Melaleuca Alternifolia is a small tree or shrub native to the northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia — growing naturally in the swampy, low-lying coastal regions of the region, where it has been used by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia for thousands of years. The Bundjalung people of eastern Australia are known to have used the crushed leaves of the Melaleuca tree in traditional practice for centuries — inhaling the aromatic vapours from crushed leaves and applying them directly to the skin as part of their rich and sophisticated botanical knowledge. The name ‘Tea Tree’ is said to derive from the practice of early European sailors and settlers infusing the leaves to make a tea — a fragrant, aromatic brew that Captain Cook and his crew are said to have drunk on their voyages along the Australian coast.

Tea Tree Essential Oil began to attract wider attention in Europe between the 1920s and 1930s, when its clean, powerfully aromatic character and high terpenoid content — particularly terpinen-4-ol, the primary active aromatic constituent — made it a valued ingredient in personal care products and natural formulations. Today it remains one of the most popular and widely used essential oils in the world — a staple of natural skincare, home care and aromatherapy collections globally, and a cornerstone ingredient in countless soaps, cleansers, shampoos and household products.

With its clean, clarifying and powerfully fresh aromatic character, Tea Tree Essential Oil is an indispensable and versatile addition to any aromatherapy collection or natural formulation palette. This 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, therapists and those who incorporate Tea Tree regularly into their practice or product making.
