Tea Tree Oil - Essential Oil - 10 ml - from Unimedica

The herbaceous-spicy scent of the tea tree – captured in a pure natural essential oil

This pure natural tea tree essential oil is obtained by gentle steam distillation from the leaves of the Australian tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia). The process preserves the valuable constituents and the characteristic herb-fresh scent of the oil. Bottled in a 10 ml amber glass bottle, the quality of the light-sensitive oil is optimally preserved.

Just take a deep breath

Unimedica's tea tree oil consists of pure tea tree oil with no additives. The natural main components are terpenes, which are responsible for the oil's typical properties. It is regarded as cleansing and refreshing. When used as a room fragrance, tea tree oil can be experienced as refreshing and clarifying – especially at times when one longs for freshness and clear air.

Brings freshness to rooms and clothing

Tea tree oil can be used as a natural air freshener. Simply add a few drops to a diffuser and enjoy the oil's cleansing effect in the room air. It can also be used dropwise for laundry care and shoe hygiene and for household purposes. Care should always be taken to use the oil sparingly and only diluted.

The unique treasure of the Aboriginal people

The tea tree oil comes from Australia, where the tea tree is native. Melaleuca alternifolia belongs to the myrtle family and thrives in Australia's humid coastal regions. Its evergreen, needle-like leaves release an intense, fresh scent when crushed, reminiscent of eucalyptus. The Indigenous Australians, the Aborigines, have used the tea tree's leaves for centuries. They crushed the leaves to inhale the aromatic vapours, or applied them directly to the skin. They also bathed in waterholes where tea tree leaves had fallen – a natural, pleasantly scented bathing additive.

How the tea tree got its name by mistake

The name "tea tree" goes back to the British explorer James Cook, who landed with his crew on the east coast of Australia in 1770. They observed the Aboriginal people preparing a fragrant brew from the tree's leaves and assumed it was tea.

A versatile natural talent

In the 1920s the tea tree's essential oil was scientifically analysed for the first time. The Australian chemist Arthur Penfold recognised its potential and examined the aromatic compounds it contained. Since then, tea tree oil has enjoyed growing popularity – especially in household and room fragrance care. Its herb-fresh, spicy note makes it a valued ingredient in cleaning products, room fragrances and natural freshness applications.

Each bottle of Unimedica tea tree oil contains 10 ml of pure, natural tea tree essential oil.
