Tea Tree is derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia tree, native to Australia. Tea tree essential oil is made by steam distilling the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia tree, a method that preserves its fresh, purifying aroma. In aromatherapy, tea tree essential oil is valued for its purifying, clarifying properties, and is widely used in cleansing rituals and diffuser blends. Aromatherapy Associates uses Tea Tree to bring freshness, clarity, and a sense of renewal to blends designed for everyday wellbeing.
