Tea Tree Organic Essential Oil 10ml – Melaleuca Alternifolia | Steam Distilled Australia

Discover the clean, medicinal clarity of pure Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil, steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca Alternifolia sourced from Australia. Sharp, fresh and powerfully purifying — with a crisp, camphorous intensity, a cool green herbaceousness and a clean, woody depth — Tea Tree is one of the most widely recognised, universally trusted and enduringly popular essential oils in the world of aromatherapy, natural skincare and home care.

Native to the coastal regions of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia, Melaleuca Alternifolia has been used by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia for thousands of years — crushing the leaves to inhale the vapour, applying them to wounds and skin, and using them in traditional healing practices long before European settlement. The name 'Tea Tree' is said to derive from the 18th century, when Captain James Cook and his crew brewed the leaves into a tea during their voyages along the Australian coast.

Tea Tree Essential Oil rose to global prominence in the early 20th century, when Australian researchers began documenting its remarkable properties. By the Second World War, it was included in the kit of Australian soldiers and sailors as a standard first aid provision — a testament to its extraordinary reputation and the trust placed in this remarkable botanical. Today it remains one of the best-selling and most widely used essential oils in the world, a staple of natural medicine cabinets, skincare formulations and home cleaning products across the globe.

With its clean, clarifying and powerfully fresh aromatic character, Tea Tree Essential Oil is an indispensable addition to any aromatherapy collection — and one of the most versatile and hardworking oils available.
