About the oil
Tea tree essential oil is distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to coastal New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. Its principal compound is terpinen-4-ol, alongside 1,8-cineole and gamma-terpinene. Indigenous Australian use of tea tree leaves goes back thousands of years, and Western interest began in the 1920s with research by the Australian chemist Arthur Penfold.
Tea tree is one of the most studied essential oils and a common ingredient in topical and cleaning formulations.

I go to the Herb Stomp locations on Belmont and Sandy. The staff there have always been knowledgeable, gracious, and welcoming. I particularly like discovering new products that I would not have ordering my purchases from an online vendor. 5/5 would go again.
