Origin
Tea Tree essential oil, a key ingredient in Simply Bee’s Tea Tree Shampoo, Conditioner, Gel Cleanser, Beard Oil, Heel Balm, Horse Hoof Balm, Propolis Acne Balm, and more, is renowned for its remarkable antibacterial and antifungal properties. Therefore, it has become an essential component in many natural skincare and haircare products.
Tea Tree essential oil is derived from the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, which is native to the swamps and coastal regions of Australia. For centuries, Indigenous Australians used Tea Tree leaves by crushing them to release their oils, which were then applied to wounds and skin irritations. Because of its proven effectiveness, this oil has gained global recognition in modern natural health and beauty practices.
The process of making Tea Tree oil begins with the careful harvesting of the plant’s leaves. Afterward, these leaves undergo steam distillation, a method that uses high-pressure steam to extract the oil. This technique is particularly effective in preserving the oil’s active compounds, especially terpinen-4-ol, which gives Tea Tree oil its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Consequently, the resulting oil is both pure and highly concentrated, making it perfect for skincare and wellness applications.
