SOURCE
Ollie’s 100% pure Australian Tea Tree essential oil comes from tea tree bushes grown in New South Wales in Eastern Australia, the native home of this remarkable plant. Tea tree thrives in water-rich floodplains, and when its leaves fall, they tint the surrounding waters a rich “tea” colour – hence the name, and the folklore of “healing lakes.”
It takes around 63kg of leaves to produce just 1kg of oil, so every drop is precious. Ollie partners only with growers that use sustainable and ethical farming practices. Every incoming batch is GC-tested for colour, aroma, and composition – ensuring only oils of the highest purity and potency make it into an Ollie bottle.
Australian tea tree oil has a fresh, bracing, and medicinal scent with sharp camphor notes. Think eucalyptus, pine, and a touch of mint woven together – clean, earthy, and revitalizing.
Scent breakdown:
- Medicinal & Antiseptic: unmistakably fresh, sanitary, and clean.
- Camphoraceous: sharp, bracing, and penetrating.
- Herbaceous & Woody: grounding green and earthy undertones.
- Other Nuances: some detect subtle mint or spice, evoking the freshness of an Australian rainforest.
CAUTION
Essential oils are mighty powerful. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility!
Please keep in mind:
- Dilute, always: never apply neat; mix 2-6 drops per 10ml of carrier oil. Always patch test.
- Avoid sensitive areas: eyes, ears, nose, broken skin.
- Storage: keep away from heat, light, flames, and always always always (as in, always!) keep out of reach of children and pets, to avoid accidental ingestion or other misuse.
- Health Conditions: if pregnant, breastfeeding, epileptic, or managing health concerns, consult a doctor before use.
- Environment: Many essential oils are toxic to aquatic life, so please avoid releasing them into the environment. Thank you, merci, xie xie!
- External Use Only: While all our oils are food-grade, we do not recommend ingesting Australian tea tree essential oil.
Inhalation: steam inhalation should be avoided by those with asthma or epilepsy.
