Australia, allowing the plant to flourish. By also sourcing Tea Tree from Kenya, we support
smallholder farmers in rural areas of the country, while also acquiring high-quality essential oil.
Tea trees are evergreen and shrublike. They’ve traditionally been used for health purposes
by Aboriginal Australians. At the beginning of WWII, most members of the Australian army
carried a small bottle of tea tree oil with them. The essential oil comes from steam-distilled
leaves.
Kangaroos run wild on the Australian tea tree plantation. The trees grow from spring through
fall, with the harvest occurring during winter months to prevent loss of growing time. The
same trees can be harvested every year because they coppice—begin to grow again—three
to six weeks after harvesting. Because of sustainable harvesting process, after 18 years of
operation, the Australia plantation continues to increase the health and productivity of the
same tea trees.
Why Tea Tree
Tea Tree has over 92 different chemical constituents, which account for its near limitless
applications. When used topically, Tea Tree promotes a healthy complexion and reduces
the appearance of skin blemishes. This property stems from Tea Tree’s high concentration
of the monoterpene alcohol terpinen-4-ol, which has been researched as a topical solution
for several skin concerns.
Tip:
Sun-Kissed and Carefree
After a long day of fun in the sun, apply a few drops of Tea Tree with
Fractionated Coconut Oil to your skin for some super soothing. For even more
comfort and relief, add Lavender and Frankincense.
