Tea tree Australia: Melaleuca alternifolia (Cheel) ct. Terpinen-4-ol
Why tea tree Australia? An extremely versatile essential oil, tea tree Australia has an array of useful applications. With an invigorating aroma and sharp, spicy taste, tea tree is often used for invigorating inhalants, on the feet for smooth skin, and in household products for a zesty and clean smelling home.
Quality Assured: Our organic tea tree Australia essential oil is sustainably sourced from Australia. The oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the tea tree M. alternifolia. Every batch of oil is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and harvested without genetic engineering or irradiation. Additionally, our expert aromatherapists here at the Apothecary Shoppe personally assess all of our oils—using touch, taste, smell, and lab analyses—to ensure that your essential oil is suitable for use and entirely free of adulterants.
Independent third-party lab reports including GC/MS and pesticide testing results are available upon request. Please send a request to apothecary@achs.edu and include the essential oil Latin name and lot number; results include a comparative analysis with ISO and the Pharmacopeia when available.
