TEA TREE

Tea Tree essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the Melaleuca tree.

Aromatically, Tea Tree has a herbaceous, green, leathery scent.

Tea Tree essential oil has over 92 different compounds and limitless applications. The leaves of the Melaleuca (Tea Tree) tree were used by the Aborigines of Australia for centuries. They would crush the leaves and inhale the oil to promote feelings of clear breathing and apply the leaves directly to the skin for a cooling effect. Tea Tree is best known for its purifying properties. It can be used to cleanse and purify the skin and nails and to support a healthy complexion. Taken internally, Tea Tree promotes healthy immune function*, and Tea Tree can be used on surfaces throughout the home to protect against environmental threats. Tea Tree is frequently used on occasional skin irritations to soothe the skin and diffusing Tea Tree will help purify and freshen the air.

Sourcing Information​

One of the main reasons I chose dōTERRA is because of where and how they source their essential oils. dōTERRA believes that plants produce the best chemical properties when they are grown and harvested in their native habitat. ​
dōTERRA sources Tea Tree from Australia and Kenya. Each batch of essential oils goes through over 60 tests to ensure that they are pure, potent, effective oils worthy of the dōTERRA name. Some of those tests are:
  • Organoleptic testing
  • Microbial testing
  • Gas chromatography
  • Mass spectrometry
  • Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
  • Chirality testing
  • Isotopic analysis
  • Heavy metal testing
You can access the GC/MS reports of each batch of dōTERRA essential oils. These tests are done by an independent third-party lab. Your unique Quality ID is located on the bottom of your bottle. Enter that ID at sourcetoyou.com to access the reports.

Environmental Stewardship and Sustainable Sourcing

No part of the tree is wasted in the process of producing Tea Tree essential oil. In both Australia and Kenya, the steamed tea tree biomass is applied back to the fields to prevent weed growth and deliver important nutrients to the soil.
