Tea Tree Oil [Skin] has been referred to as “the wonder from Down Under.” It comes from the
melaleuca tree, which is native to Australia and has long been used by the Aborigines. Legend has it the tree was first introduced
to Europeans by Captain Cook, who made tea from the leaves while on a voyage to Australia. The oil is extracted from the tree’s
leaves through a special distillation process.
The trees do not need to be harvested in order for their
oil to be extracted; in fact, some trees have provided oil for over 60 years. Tea tree’s beneficial properties make
it a popular ingredient in shampoos, creams, skin cleansers and other external cosmetic applications. The compounds
in tea tree oil benefit the skin and are non-irritating. The oil contains several important compounds, including
terpines, cymones, pinines, terpinen-4-ol, sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpene alcohols.
