Native to Australia, Tea Tree has been valued for generations, with Aboriginal communities traditionally using its leaves for various purposes. Its remarkable benefits were introduced to the scientific world in 1923 by Dr. A.R. Penfold, and by the 1940s, it was considered so essential that its production was prioritized during WWII to supply military first aid kits. With its fresh, medicinal aroma, Tea Tree Essential Oil is now widely used in skincare and home care, known for its purifying properties, refreshing scent, and ability to create a clean and invigorating environment.
