Tea Tree Essential Oil Organic 50ml

Sharp, green and unmistakably herbal, this organic tea tree essential oil brings a clean-edged botanical scent to daily aromatherapy. It is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca alternifolia, the tea tree native to Australia, for a direct, camphoraceous aroma with real presence.

The scent of tea tree

• The first impression is crisp and medicinal-herbal, more bracing than soft.
• Its green, camphoraceous character suits moments when you want the room to feel clear and freshly tended.
• A little goes a long way in scent blends, where tea tree often gives structure to gentler oils.
• It feels practical rather than decorative, the kind of aroma that belongs beside a diffuser, a bath shelf or a simple home ritual.

Steam distilled from Australian tea tree

This essential oil comes from Melaleuca alternifolia, using the leaves and twigs of the plant. Steam distillation draws the aromatic compounds into a concentrated oil while keeping the scent close to the living plant: sharp, leafy and resinous in character.

From plant name to practice

The name ‘tea tree’ is linked to early use of the leaves as an infusion, which gave the plant its everyday English name. In eastern Australia, Aboriginal communities have long worked with tea tree leaves in traditional plant practice. Today, tea tree essential oil is widely used in aromatherapy and personal care for its distinctive scent, with the meaning of the plant carried more through habit, household ritual and botanical familiarity than ornament.

How to use it with care

Use tea tree essential oil diluted in a suitable carrier oil for skin application, and patch test first. For diffusion, add only the amount recommended for your diffuser model, as essential oils are highly concentrated.

Do not take internally. Keep away from children and pets, and avoid use during pregnancy or while lactating unless guided by a qualified professional. Store closed, upright and away from heat.
