OVERVIEW

Tea Tree Oil, available as bulk tea tree oil in Australia, 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 for various skin maladies. In the early twentieth century, a Sydney-based chemist, Dr. Arthur Penfold, discovered that Tea Tree Oil was thirteen times stronger than carbolic acid – the antiseptic standard at that time. For more insights into its origins and cultural significance, explore this tea tree history and discover its remarkable journey.

To this day, Melaleuca alternifolia is one of the most heavily researched and cited essential oils in existence. Google Scholar references nearly 5,000 citations since 1980. Research topics range from in vitro validations of its antimicrobial properties to extensive, randomized, and prospective in vivo human studies. This growing body of evidence is likely to increase the global demand for Tea Tree Oil and related products.

Recently, researchers in Australia even employed Tea Tree Oil to synthesize graphene (a single-layer carbon fiber) sheet—a testament to its versatility. Tea Tree Oil’s valued properties as an antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agent make it especially sought-after in personal care formulations

This includes consistent interest from those seeking quality Tea Tree Oil from Australia and partnering with reputable Tea Tree Oil farmers in Australia. 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.

Recognized Traditional Herbal Medicine

In 2014, Tea Tree Oil was approved by the European Medicines Agency as a Traditional Herbal Medicine, with four defined indications for use—three of which involve using 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

This endorsement underscores the effectiveness of pure Tea Tree Oil when adhering to contemporary health guidelines.

Industry Leadership and Environmental Stewardship

Australian Tea Tree Industry Association (ATTIA) was formed in 1986 as a not-for-profit organization and the peak body to promote and represent the interests of the Australian tea tree industry from the grower/producer of Australian 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 that produces quality-assured 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. Those who purchase Tea Tree Oil from ATTIA members will receive an ethically produced and sustainable product.

The composition of Tea Tree Oil products is defined by ISO 4730 (2017) Standard—Oil of Melaleuca, terpinene-4-ol type. ATTIA members must abide by this policy’s stringent guidelines for the responsible production of pure Tea Tree Oil and Tea Tree Oil products. As a proud member of ATTIA, Down Under ensures our Tea Tree Oils adhere to strict quality parameters demanded by global buyers.

Proper Storage, Packaging & Transport

When Tea Tree Oil is stored and transported, ATTIA’s Code of Practice ensures uncompromised quality. Long-term storage and shipment of bulk Tea Tree Oil are ideally conducted in stainless steel vessels. ATTIA has undergone extensive long term and accelerated testing and analysis of a select range of packaging for stability and preservation of the integrity of bulk packed Tea Tree Oil in Australia.

Avoid accepting Tea Tree Oil in non-approved aluminum flasks, mild steel drums (including EPON-lined), or nonfluorinated (Level 5) HDPE containers or any other plastic whatsoever. Such unsuitable packaging may lead to accelerated oxidation or contamination, which compromises the purity of Tea Tree Oil.

Down Under Enterprises can help you determine the most appropriate container for your requirements, ensuring that when you receive your bulk tea tree oil from our farm in Australia, it meets the highest standards. As a trusted Australian Tea Tree Oil distributor, we can provide additional information and guidance on best practices for the storage of tea tree oil.
