Australian tea tree essential oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is a versatile and potent oil that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. Derived from the tree's leaves, the purity of the oil depends largely on where and how the trees are grown - organic, wild-harvested, sans pesticides, insecticides and at peak season to capture the most nutrients.

We at Naturally Australian Products are proud to grow and manufacture our 100% Australian tea tree oil in the birthplace of the tea tree industry. Our 2,147-acre certified organic farm ensures high quality oil with potent antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent natural remedy for a variety of skin, hair, and household issues.

Further, our Organic Tea Tree Oil goes beyond the benefits for skin and haircare, creating more healthy, positive impacts for our producers, growers, and down to the species and soil that share our farm with us. As awareness grows about the greater good of organic oils for our bodies, we hope so does the understanding of the importance of natural-based products for our planet.
