Description
Tea tree is a shrub native to Australia, where it has been used for its medicinal properties since ancient times.It owes its name to the explorer James Cook and his crew. During one of their voyages, they tasted a refreshing tea made from the shrub’s leaves and named it “Tea tree”.
They also observed that Indigenous people applied crushed leaves to wounds to prevent infection.
A chemist named Arthur de Raman Penfold first extracted its essential oil in 1922. The plant’s valuable anti-infective properties could then be demonstrated.
During the Second World War, Australian soldiers were issued a bottle of tea tree essential oil with their first-aid kits.
Alongside lavender, this is probably one of the most studied, used and sold essential oils in the world.
Its distinctive medicinal aroma may not appeal to everyone, but it is undoubtedly an essential part of the family aromatherapy kit.

I like it a lot
Translated review.
It has a lasting scent that is not at all cloying, very effective. Nothing like the one from Mercadona

Used to cheaper ones, I bought it after a friend insisted, without much confidence. What a good choice! Whenever it runs out, I seek this one: incomparable with others. Esther Romero highly recommends you. Thank you
Pros: Buena calidad
Cons: El precio es algo más caro que otros que he probado pero se nota de mayor calidad.

Translated review.
Everything went very well from purchase to delivery. The good online service deserves a mention.
Careful, fast delivery. Everything arrived very well wrapped and in perfect condition. I bought it with other oils to make a homemade insecticide.
Its smell is powerful and strong, even unpleasant, but that suits me; it was what I was looking for.
I bought several oils and made the homemade insecticide with them. Being 100% natural, with such powerful scents, the result was as expected, as was its effect: it drives mosquitoes away, and at the same time you are not breathing in toxic substances. I am very happy with the purchase; very good quality.
The drawback I would mention is that I had to buy some oils in smaller sizes because their price is high. Overall, satisfied with the purchase and the result. I would buy from Mi Cosmética Casera again; I recommend it.
