Tea Tree (Plantation Grown) Essential Oil

Melaleuca alternifolia

  • Certified Organic Available
Studied Properties

There are over 200 compounds found in our Tea Tree Oil, but the main constituents of Tea Tree essential oil are Alpha Pinene, Beta Pinene, Sabinene, Myrcene, Alpha Phellandrene, Alpha Terpinene, Limonene, Cineole, Gamma Terpinene, Para Cymene, Terpinolene, Linalool, Terpinenol and Alpha Terpineol.

*BEWARE of false oils! Standards require that authentic Tea Tree Essential Oil must have more than 30% terpinen-4-ol and less than 15% cineole. However, many inauthentic oils will be standardized with synthetic compounds to meet the required levels of these 15 compounds – one of the many reasons why traceability is so important is sourcing 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil.

Common Uses

Tea tree oil has been long valued for its antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties, but it was only in the 1920s, after Arthur Penfold, an Australian state government chemist, published a series of papers on tea tree oil's antiseptic properties that this oil's benefits became more widely known. It was commonly used in dentistry and surgery to help clean wounds and prevent infections.

It is a powerful antiseptic, which inhibits a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi and cleanses and protects skin abrasions. Tea Tree Oil is well tolerated by healthy skin tissue and does not inhibit normal cell growth. It relieves minor cuts, burns, abrasions, pimples, bites and stings and helps treat fungal infections such as athlete’s foot and nail infection. In cleaning it kills a high percentage of household germs.

Because the benefits of Tea Tree oil include cleansing properties and a refreshing scent, this versatile oil can be used for everything from home cleaning solutions to skin care. Tea tree oil has become more popular within the last few years, and it is now added to soaps, shampoos, lotions and other personal care products. Tea tree oil has many uses around the home, too.

*Can cause skin irritation if used undiluted.

WHICH TEA TREE OIL IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Our plantation-grown Certified Organic Oil and Wild-Crafted (wild-harvested) Tea Tree Oil are both premium quality. Some brands prefer to formulate with Cert. Organic Tea Tree Oil to ensure safety, to elevate a brand's range, or to express a brand's eco-commitment. While others choose Wild-Crafted to connect their product and imagery to the traditional principles of foraging and sustainably hand-harvesting on wild lands.
