OVERVIEW

Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil obtained from the steam distillation of the native Australian plant Melaleuca alternifolia. It has been used for thousands of years by Australian Aborigines as an effective treatment of various skin maladies. In the early twentieth century, a Sydney-based chemist, Dr. Arthur Penfold, discovered that tea tree essential oil was thirteen times stronger than carbolic acid – the standard at that time – as an antiseptic.

To this day, Melaleuca alternifolia is one of the most heavily researched and cited essential oils in existence; Google Scholar references nearly 5000 citations since 1980. Research topics range from the in vitro validations of its antimicrobial properties to extensive, randomized and prospective in vivo human studies. This ever-expanding body of evidence is likely to further the applications and demand for this natural oil. Recently, researchers in Australia even used Tea Tree Oil to synthesize graphene (single-layer carbon fiber) sheets! Tea Tree Oil’s properties as an effective antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agent are highly valued in personal care formulations.

Down Under Enterprises has compiled a series of technical and clinical white papers that summarize the research conducted in different use cases such as, Medicinal Applications, Home Care, Hair Care, Skincare, and Oral Care.

In 2014, Tea Tree Oil was approved by the European Medicines Agency as a Traditional Herbal Medicine, with four defined indications for use. Notably, three of the four indications involve the use of pure, undiluted Tea Tree Oil.

  • For treatment of small superficial  wounds and insect bites
  • For treatment of small boils (furuncles and mild acne)
  • For the relief of itching and irritation in cases of mild athlete´s foot
  • For symptomatic treatment of minor inflammation of the oral mucosa

In Australia, the home of premium quality Tea Tree Oil, the Australian Tea Tree Industry Association (ATTIA) is a not-for-profit organization formed in 1986 as the peak body to promote and represent the interest of the Australian tea tree industry from the grower/producer of Australia Tea Tree Oil, through to the manufacturer of off-the-shelf products.

ATTIA aims to develop a stable, cohesive, environmentally friendly, and internationally competitive Tea Tree Oil industry producing quality assured Tea Tree Oil that meets or exceeds international standards.

The Australian Tea Tree industry is environmentally aware and was one of the first industry bodies to adopt a policy that broadly embraces the principles of the ISO14000 environmental standards.

ATTIA members must abide by this policy’s stringent guidelines for the responsible production of pure Tea Tree Oil and Tea Tree Oil product. The composition of Tea Tree Oil products is determined by ISO 4730 (2017) Standard - Oil of Melaleuca, terpinene-4-ol type. 

Storage Packaging & Transport

When Tea Tree Oil is stored and transported, ATTIA Code of Practice standards ensure that the quality of the oil is not compromised. While stainless steel is the best material for long term storage and shipment of Tea Tree Oil, a select range of packaging has undergone extensive long term and accelerated testing and analysis by ATTIA.

Avoid accepting any Tea Tree Oil in non-approved aluminum flasks, mild steel drums (including EPON-lined), nonfluorinated (Level 5) HDPE or any other plastic whatsoever – it will no longer be pure and/or will likely exhibit accelerated oxidation. Down Under Enterprises can help you determine which container is most suitable for your requirements. More information is available HERE.
