Tea Tree Essential Oil (Australian)

Tea tree is a shrub in the myrtle family, growing to a height of about 20 feet. Tea tree oil contains over 100 plant chemicals and over 98 compounds. The most abundant of these is terpinen-4-ol which makes up at least 30 per cent and has an important role in the oil's antimicrobial activity. Tea Tree oil or melaleuca oil is an essential oil with a fresh camphoraceous odor and a color that ranges from pale yellow to nearly colorless and clear.

The oil has been described as having a fresh, camphor-like smell. It is steam distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, which is native to Southeast Queensland and the Northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia where it is imported from. It has been used medicinally by Australian Aborigines for centuries and was identified as an antiseptic by the New South Wales chief chemist in the 1920s.
