Australian Tea Tree Oil
Australian tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a plant native to southeast Queensland and the northeast coast of New South Wales.
Tea tree oil has a distinctive, fresh aroma and ranges in colour from pale yellow to almost clear. It contains more than 100 naturally occurring components and is widely recognised for its antimicrobial properties. It is commonly used in low concentrations in personal-care products, cosmetics and surface-cleaning formulations.
Tea tree oil must not be swallowed and should always be used in accordance with the product directions.
