Tea tree essential oil, sold by volume in millilitres, as bottles of the oil and as roll-on applicators. The oil is distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, and the label usually names the plant and gives the volume, the use instructions and the warnings. A roll-on lists what else it contains besides the oil, so read the ingredient list as well as the millilitres.
Frequently asked questions
Is tea tree oil made from tea?
No. Tea tree oil is distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a plant unrelated to the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, from which tea is made. Other plants are also called tea tree, such as lemon tea tree, Leptospermum petersonii, and their oils differ, so the Latin name on the label is what identifies the oil.
Why can a tea tree oil bottle carry hazard symbols?
Many essential oils are classified under the EU rules on classification and labelling (CLP), for example as flammable liquids or as skin sensitisers, so the bottle shows pictograms, a signal word and precautionary statements. What appears depends on the oil and its concentration. Read these statements and follow them.
How long does a bottle of tea tree oil keep?
The label shows a date mark or batch code and the storage instructions. Essential oils change when exposed to air, light and heat, which is why labels usually say to keep the bottle closed and stored as stated. Follow the date and the instructions on the bottle you buy.
