Description
Steam-DistilledSingle-Botanical100% PureAromatherapy Grade
Sharp, medicinal, slightly camphoraceous — the signature scent of first-aid kits and acne spot treatments. Distinctly herbaceous rather than sweet; instantly identifiable.
Sampson’s Tea Tree is a pure single-botanical essential oil from Melaleuca alternifolia, steam-distilled from the leaves of the Australian tea tree. High in terpinen-4-ol — the compound that defines the medicinal tea-tree profile and the reason this oil shows up in so many first-aid traditions.
Traditionally used in spot-treatment topical blends (heavily diluted), in tidying-and-cleaning sprays, and as a freshening diffusion note in laundry and mudrooms. Tea tree is on the cat-toxicity list — see the safety tip in How to Use.

Benefits
🌿
True Alternifolia Profile
Source
Steam-distilled Melaleuca alternifolia from Australia, not the cheaper Melaleuca cajuputi cousin. Terpinen-4-ol-dominant — the defining tea-tree chemistry.
⚕️
First-Aid-Kit Classic
Traditional Use
One of the most-documented oils in folk topical traditions. Almost every household first-aid kit in Australia has a bottle next to the band-aids.
💨
Clean-Air Reads Strong
Diffusion
Reads as “just-cleaned” in a diffuser without smelling like cleaning product. Pairs with eucalyptus for steam-room blends or lemongrass for outdoor-fresh.
How to Use
01
Diffuse
Add 3–5 drops to an ultrasonic diffuser per 100 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then pause — continuous diffusion isn’t more effective and can desensitize the nose.
02
Dilute for Skin Use
Adults: dilute to 1–3% in a carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond, fractionated coconut) — 6–18 drops per 30 ml of carrier. For kids, elderly, pregnancy, or sensitive skin: 0.5–1% (3–6 drops per 30 ml). Always patch-test first.
03
Store Cool & Dark
Keep the bottle sealed in a drawer or cupboard away from heat. Most steam-distilled oils last 1–3 years unopened, around 2 years once opened.
“Not safe to diffuse around cats — this oil is on the cat-toxicity list. Also avoid around birds. Dogs tolerate small amounts in well-ventilated spaces.”
