Tea tree oil has been used by the Aboriginal people of Australia for centuries. Distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, it contains terpinen-4-ol, a compound with well-documented antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. It is one of the most researched essential oils and a staple in natural skincare.
