Overview
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.
