Our first-distillation, 100% pure Australian Tea Tree Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and buds of the Melaleuca alternifolia shrub, native to northern Australia. Composed of nearly 100 different chemical constituents, the majority belong to the monoterpene group. Its main active ingredient, terpinene-4-ol (approximately 30%), is known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, 1,8-cineole contributes mucolytic and pain-relieving effects, which may aid in respiratory conditions.
