The essential oil that earns its place in the cabinet.
Tea tree smells like it means business. Sharp, clean, unmistakably medicinal. This isn't an oil you reach for because it's pretty. You reach for it because it works. It's the one that shows up in DIY cleaning recipes, skincare routines, and diffuser blends when the air needs clearing.
Steam distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, grown in Australia where the plant is native. 100% pure. No carrier oils, no dilution. Just the plant, concentrated.
Why You'll Love The Tea Tree Essential Oil
- The Skin Oil: Tea tree is one of the most popular essential oils for skincare. Many people add a drop to their routine when skin needs extra attention. Always dilute before applying.
- Clears the Air: Diffuse it when the house feels stuffy or when someone's under the weather. The sharp, clean scent freshens a room fast.
- DIY Cleaning: Add it to homemade cleaning sprays, laundry, or anywhere you want that fresh, clean smell without synthetic fragrances.
- Blends Well: Pairs with eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, and lemon. A few drops can sharpen and clarify almost any blend.
How to Use It
For aromatherapy, add 4-6 drops to your diffuser. For topical use, always dilute first. Mix 1-2 drops with a tablespoon of carrier oil before applying to skin. For cleaning, add 10-15 drops to a spray bottle with water and white vinegar. Tea tree is potent. Keep away from eyes, and if you're pregnant, nursing, or have medical conditions, consult your healthcare provider before using.

Q: What does tea tree smell like?
A: Sharp, clean, and medicinal. There's a camphor quality to it, almost like eucalyptus but earthier. It's not a "pretty" scent. It smells functional. Most people either love it or associate it with cleaning products.
Q: Can I apply tea tree directly to skin?
A: Tea tree is one of the few essential oils some people use undiluted on small areas, but we recommend always diluting first. Mix 1-2 drops with a carrier oil like jojoba before applying. Undiluted essential oils can cause irritation, especially on sensitive skin. Patch test first.
Q: What's the difference between tea tree and eucalyptus?
A: Both are sharp and medicinal, but different plants with different profiles. Eucalyptus (from Australia's gum trees) is more cooling and minty. Tea tree (from Melaleuca) is earthier and more herbaceous. They blend well together and are often used for similar purposes, but they're not interchangeable.
