Is there a difference in the quality of Tea Tree Oil?

Tea tree oil is a natural ingredient which means one tea tree oil can be very different from another. Think of 2 apples, one could be green, large and slightly bitter, another could be red, small and very sweet. The difference depends on the species of plant, growing conditions and picking time.

Tea tree oil sourced from Australia usually has a high content of an ingredient called terpinen-4-ol, between 30-40%. Terpinen-4-ol is the ingredient which gives tea tree oil it’s antiseptic and anti-microbial benefits. Therefore, finding tea tree oil high in terpinen-4-ol means finding a tea tree oil which works.

Tea tree oil sourced from Australia is taken from a species of plant called the Melaleuca alternifolia – a plant native only to Australia.

Tea tree oil sourced from New Zealand is taken from 2 species called the Kunzea Ericoides and Leptospermum Scoparium. Tea tree oil grown and harvested from Africa is taken from a species of plant called the Leptospermum Petersonii.

Bottom line: If you want the same tea tree oil benefits local aborigines discovered hundreds of years ago, you need to look for tea tree oil sourced from Australia.

Secondly, be sure to check the designed function of the tea tree oil you are buying. Is it for aromatherapy? Is it designed to be diluted and used on your skin? Is it for scent only? It matters.

Tea tree oils which are safe for your skin (aka are designed as a cosmetic) are purified and checked for their skin safe composition. Check you’re buying one suitable for skin.

Finally, when you have a tea tree oil which is sourced from Australia and is skin safe, you want to ensure the tea tree oil comes with a leaflet or guide on how to use it. Dilution is very important, it ensures you are using the oil in the safest possible way.

Follow the how to use guide and you can happily enjoy all the benefits of tea tree oil.

Where does tea tree oil come from?
