Melaleuca alternifolia, or Australian tea tree oil as it is more commonly known, is a native Australian plant with many remarkable properties. When crushed and distilled, the leaves of this plant yield a 100% natural oil which is an antiseptic, a fungicide, and a mild solvent.

As a completely natural product, tea tree oil has many uses, some of which include:

• Medicinal purposes
• Skin care and hygiene
• Hair care
• Pet care
• Miscellaneous uses, from insect repellent to the relief of the symptoms of arthritis.

Tea tree oil's major active component is terpinen-4-ol (typically 30-40%). This compound is responsible for tea tree oil's antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.

Tea tree oil is a 100% natural product. It is made entirely from a renewable natural resource and is completely environmentally friendly. The growing of tea trees is carefully managed to ensure that the plantation's natural environment is undisturbed.
