Product Introduction

Tea tree oil is a volatile essential oil extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, widely recognized for its powerful antimicrobial and skin-soothing properties. Known for its fresh, medicinal aroma, it is commonly used in skincare formulations to address blemishes, in personal hygiene products for its cleansing effects, and in aromatherapy for its purifying and refreshing scent. Due to its broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal capabilities, it is also found in household cleaning solutions and natural disinfectant formulations.

Production Process

  1. Harvesting: Fresh leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia are collected at peak potency.
  2. Steam Distillation: The leaves undergo steam distillation, where heated steam releases the essential oil.
  3. Condensation and Separation: The vapor is cooled and condensed, allowing the oil to separate from water.
  4. Filtration and Purification: The crude oil is filtered to remove impurities and ensure clarity.
  5. Quality Testing: The oil is tested for purity, chemical composition, and absence of contaminants.
  6. Storage and Packaging: The refined oil is stored in dark glass or aluminum containers to maintain stability.

Source

Tea tree oil is derived from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to Australia. It thrives in warm, humid climates with well-drained soil and is primarily cultivated in plantations across New South Wales and Queensland. The oil's quality depends on factors such as harvesting time, distillation process, and chemical composition, with high terpinen-4-ol content being a key indicator of potency.
