Tea Tree

Tea tree, scientifically known as Melaleuca alternifolia, is a small tree native to Australia, particularly found in swampy or wet environments. It bears needle-like leaves and displays cream-colored, fluffy flowers.

The essential oil extracted from the tea tree leaves is renowned for its vivid, refreshing aroma and its various beneficial properties. The scent profile of tea tree oil is distinctly sharp, fresh, and medicinal with earthy, herbaceous, and slightly woody undertones. It is often described as clean and invigorating, making it a popular choice in aromatherapy for boosting mental clarity and energy.

Tea tree oil is also highly valued in cosmetic and skincare applications for its antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for treating acne, soothing skin irritations, and promoting overall skin health. Its potent aroma also makes it useful in household cleaning products for its ability to neutralize odors and cleanse air and surfaces.
