Why does Melaleuca Oil continue to be welcomed into homes across North America and the world? Because life is full of little accidents. Every week—maybe every day—there’s a need for some soothing relief.
Since 1985, Melaleuca households have had a source of relief that just can’t be found anywhere else. All it takes is a few drops of Melaleuca Oil directly on the skin.
Minor wounds, burns, and blisters are soothed. Skin is softened around splinters. Bug bites, bee stings, and patches of irritated skin are soon calmed, the pain reduced.

When British explorer James Cook landed in southeast Australia in 1770, he observed local Aborigines brewing the “tea tree” leaves as a tea. Impressed by the tea, he gathered leaves for the use of his crew throughout the remainder of his voyages.
Captain Cook discovered the “tea tree” when he landed in southeast Australia in 1770.
In 1922, Australian chemist Arthur de Ramon Penfold brought new attention to the oil of Melaleuca alternifolia in a report to the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney. The report hailed tea tree oil as effective in dealing with a variety of ailments.
Arthur de Ramon Penfold rediscovered Melaleuca Oil’s many benefits in 1922.
By World War II, tea tree oil was in full production. It was standard issue in the first aid kits of both Australian and British troops. In fact, soldiers dubbed tea tree oil the “first aid kit in a bottle” for its versatility in treating many different types of wounds. They found tea tree oil particularly effective in staving off the various fungal infections common in the wet, warm tropics of the South Pacific.
The Australian government, recognising the oil’s ability to help wounds heal, commandeered the entire supply of tea tree oil for the war effort, and those involved in its production were exempted from military service.
In 1985, a young company called Melaleuca, Inc. became the first to bring the healing, soothing powers of Melaleuca Oil to people all over the world.
President of the fledgling Melaleuca, Inc., visited Australia in 1985 for a firsthand look at the Melaleuca alternifolia plantation.
In the last decade, research has been conducted tying Melaleuca Oil to helping fight bacteria like MRSA, fungal infections like athlete’s foot, and even treating acne. The possibilities are endless and we eagerly seek new discoveries.

When Melaleuca alternifolia trees at the plantation are harvested, they’re cut all the way to the ground. No worries. They regrow year after year. Some trees have been harvested for over 85 years—making them an extremely reusable resource.
T stands for terpinen-4-ol. Terpinen-4-ol gives Melaleuca Oil its antiseptic powers. T36-C5 Melaleuca Oil is 36% terpinen-4-ol, exceeding the Australian quality standard of 30%.
Cineole gives Melaleuca Oil its penetrating power. Too much cineole and the oil can be irritating. The “5” means that the oil is only 5% cineole—far stricter than the Australian quality standard, which allows 15% cineole.
