Handcraft Blends Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil is a USDA Organic, steam-distilled Melaleuca alternifolia oil from South Africa. Its fresh herbal and earthy aroma is suited to diffusers, scent blends, soaps and properly diluted body-care formulas.
USDA Organic Melaleuca Alternifolia Essential Oil
Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil has a concentrated aroma with fresh, green, herbal and earthy notes. The current GC/MS report identifies it as the terpinen-4-ol chemotype, which gives the oil its recognizable tea tree scent.
The oil is 100% pure and undiluted, without added carrier oils, synthetic additives or preservatives. Its amber glass bottle includes a dropper for controlled dispensing.

How to Use Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil
Diffuser: Add approximately 3–5 drops per 100 mL of water, or follow the diffuser instructions. Begin with fewer drops, use in a well-ventilated room and adjust gradually for room size and fragrance preference.
Aromatic blends: Pair tea tree with lemon or bergamot for brightness, rosemary for an herbal profile, cedarwood or sandalwood for a dry woody base, or lavender for floral contrast.
Soap and DIY projects: Confirm compatibility with the selected base. Follow its supplier's usage-rate and temperature guidance and prepare a small test batch before scaling.
Tea Tree Oil for Body-Care Blends
For a scented body oil, dilute Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil in jojoba, sweet almond, fractionated coconut or another compatible carrier oil. Apply the finished formula sparingly to intact skin.
Tea Tree Essential Oil is not a carrier oil and should not be applied undiluted. It is insoluble in water, so water-based sprays and cosmetic formulas require an appropriate solubilizer or emulsifier and a properly tested formula.
Present it as a cosmetic or aromatic ingredient. Avoid claims that it treats acne, fungal conditions, wounds or infections without appropriate evidence and regulatory authorization.
Topical Dilution and Safety
The current directions list a general 1–2% range, approximately 6–12 drops per 30 mL of carrier oil, for adult topical use. Because drop sizes vary, formulators should measure by weight and follow the applicable supplier or IFRA limit for the intended application.
Tea tree essential oil can irritate the skin, eyes or respiratory system. Patch test the finished blend and avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils, mucous membranes, broken skin and other sensitive areas.
Organic vs. Standard Tea Tree Essential Oil
Both Handcraft Blends versions are steam-distilled Melaleuca alternifolia oils sourced from South Africa, with herbal and earthy aromas. The organic version adds USDA Organic certification.
Choose the organic version when certified-organic sourcing is important. Choose the standard version when the same general botanical type and aroma are wanted without organic certification.
