Product Information
Tea Tree oil has an earthy, herbaceous, camphoraceous aroma and is one of our favourites due to its versatility.
It takes around 50kg of leaves from the Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) to produce 500ml of oil. The leaves are left to wilt for a few days to reduce the moisture content, drying means less moisture for the steam to remove and makes it easier for the steam to open the oil glands and extract the oil.
Tea tree oil has a multitude of applications, and for some has become a 'bathroom cabinet' staple, largely due to its natural antiseptic properties attributed to the germicidal active compound terpinen-4-o1. Due to low levels of para-cymene, a potentially irritating agent that can occur in essential oils, Tea tree oil is suitable to apply directly onto the skin with minimal risk of skin sensitivity. Widely used as a topical treatment for minor cuts/abrasions, burns, sunburn, stings and insect bites this powerful medicinally scented oil is thought to have 'true therapeutic benefits'.

"Surprisingly effective, used as it is in such small quantities in the bath water."
By Alan Summerscales
, 23 Sep 2021

I have used it to supplement treatment for a fungal problem and also to treat skin irritation. It is very soothing and it seems to work.
Be careful to read the instructions. I almost overlooked that only a few drops are used in a bath full of water and you never use it undiluted on the skin. This is not a criticism of the instructions - they are clear enough to see.
It should last quite a long time.

The whole family use tea tree oil for various hygiene-related reasons so we get through a lot of tea tree oil. Most tea tree oil is only available in small bottles but this is a much larger bottle.

"Dangerous For Use With Dogs, Please Beware."
By Anonymous
, 05 Aug 2021
Tea tree oil is not safe for dogs. Their lungs have been known to become severely damaged - with distressing and fatal outcome. Not everyone is aware of this, and it can happen in a short space of time.
Also, they do not like strong clean smells. Recommend only for humans.
