English Name: Tea Tree- AAA (Australia)
Also Known As: Melaleuca Oil, Tea Tree Oil
Part Used: Leaves and young twigs of Melaleuca alternifolia
Description: Tea Tree Oil - AAA (Australia) is obtained from the leaves and young twigs of Melaleuca alternifolia, a perennial evergreen shrub native to Australia. The plant typically grows between 4 and 7 metres tall, producing narrow, soft green leaves and clusters of pale cream to white flowers during the warmer seasons. The leaves and twigs are collected at optimal maturity to ensure the aromatic compounds are fully matured, providing a fresh, herbaceous scent and clear to pale yellow oil.
After collecting, the plant material is carefully cleaned to remove debris and then subjected to steam distillation. In this process, steam gently extracts the natural oils from the leaves and twigs, which are then condensed and collected as pure essential oil. This method preserves the plant’s natural aroma, clarity, and volatile compounds while maintaining consistent quality. No additives or carriers are introduced, ensuring the oil remains 100% pure.
The finished Tea Tree Essential Oil displays a clear to pale yellow colour with a crisp, fresh, herbaceous aroma. The oil is lightweight, free-flowing, and stable when stored properly, retaining its natural scent and visual clarity over time. Its high-quality AAA grade reflects the careful selection of plant material and precise distillation process.
Uses: Tea Tree oil- AAA (Australia) is commonly used in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as soaps, shampoos, creams, lotions, and bath products. It is suitable for aromatherapy diffusion, natural household products, room sprays, candles, and handcrafted items. The oil blends well with other essential oils for custom fragrance or craft projects. It is also used in botanical sachets and educational collections to demonstrate essential oil extraction. The pure, concentrated form allows for accurate measuring, blending, and versatile use in both home and professional settings, offering consistent quality and natural aromatic appeal.
