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.

Appearance: Clear liquid, ranging from colourless to pale yellow

Solubility: Insoluble in water

Taxonomy

Bueno sin peros

Estando acostumbrada a otros más baratos me decidí a comprarlo gracias a una amiga me insistió mucho, sin mucha confianza. Y vaya si fue un acierto, cada vez que se agota busco siempre este, no se puede comparar con otros. Os recomienda mucho Esther Romero. Gracias

Pros (original): Buena calidad

Cons (original): 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.

Desde la compra hasta la entrega todo fue muy bien. Destacar la buena atención online. La entrega cuidadosa y rápida. Llegó todo muy bien envuelto y en perfecto estado. Lo compré junto con más aceites, con la idea de hacer un insecticida casero. Su olor es potente y fuerte, incluso desagradable, pero a mí me viene bien que sea así, era lo que buscaba. Adquirí varios aceites e hice el insecticida casero con ellos, al ser 100% naturales, con sus aromas tan potentes, el resultado ha sido el esperado, y con ello, también su efecto, pues hace ahuyentar a los mosquitos, y a su vez, no respiras tóxicos He quedado muy contenta con la compra, calidad muy buena. El pero que pondría, es que hay aceites, que he tenido que comprar en tamaño más pequeño, porque su precio es elevado. En general, satisfecha con la compra y con el resultado. Volvería a comprar en Mi cosmética casera, lo recomiendo.
