Bulk Orders Welcome
We happily fill bulk orders for true tea tree oil, and every size, from the 0.5 oz bottle to the 400 lb drum, comes off the same standard batch. Formulators, soap and candle makers, and resellers are always welcome here.
Dilute true tea tree oil into a carrier oil for a clarifying-feeling addition to scalp treatments or spot routines, valued for its clean, purifying character.
Blend true tea tree oil into a homemade all-purpose spray or laundry booster, where its sharp, green scent cuts through musty odors and leaves rooms smelling clean.
Add true tea tree oil to cold-process soap batches for its signature crisp, green note, a favorite among makers building fresh, no-nonsense bar and bath formulas.
True tea tree oil is a concentrated botanical extract and should never be applied undiluted. For skin use, dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test on a small area first. Keep it away from the eyes, children, and pets, avoid internal use, and store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark place.
Frequently Asked Questions
How pure is your tea tree oil? ▾
True tea tree oil is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, with no fillers, carriers, or synthetic additives. Every batch is backed by our published Certificate of Analysis, so you can see exactly what is, and isn't, in the bottle before you buy.
Is this the same tea tree oil sold as 'Melaleuca oil,' and how does it differ from other Melaleuca species? ▾
Yes, tea tree oil and Melaleuca oil refer to the same plant, Melaleuca alternifolia. It's a distinct species from cajeput or niaouli, other Melaleuca trees sometimes sold under similar-sounding names but carrying a different aroma and chemistry. Ours is single-species Melaleuca alternifolia, nothing blended in.
What does tea tree oil smell like, and what blends well with it? ▾
True tea tree oil smells crisp, green, and camphorous, with a faint earthy edge underneath. It's a sharp, no-nonsense scent that pairs naturally with lemon, lavender, rosemary, and eucalyptus in fresh, clean-smelling blends for the home or a diffuser.
How do I dilute tea tree oil for use on skin? ▾
For skin application, dilute true tea tree oil to between 0.5% and 2% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond oil, roughly 3 to 10 drops per ounce of carrier. Always patch test on a small area first and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
True tea tree oil comes in ten sizes, from a 0.5 oz bottle up through 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 oz, then 5, 25, 100, and 400 lb bulk sizes. Every size ships from the same standard batch, making it easy to order sample quantities or true wholesale volume in one place.
Does the price per ounce get better with larger sizes? ▾
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases, so buying a larger bottle or bulk container stretches your budget further than repeat small purchases. Our largest 400 lb size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of our smallest 0.5 oz bottle, which is why formulators and makers tend to size up.
Which size should I start with? ▾
If you're new to tea tree oil, the 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is a low-risk way to try it in a diffuser or diluted skincare routine. Regular users of cleaning sprays or soap making often reach for 4 to 16 oz, while 5 lbs and up suits formulators and resellers buying on a production scale.
How fast do orders ship, and how does checkout work? ▾
Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a little extra handling time before they leave our facility, so allow slightly longer for those. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, where you'll select your size and complete payment securely.
Why is tea tree oil considered a benchmark or reference oil in the industry? ▾
Tea tree oil produced to the recognized purity standard has become the reference point the rest of the market is measured against, the way other benchmark botanicals anchor their categories. That reputation is why so many soap makers, cleaners, and skincare formulators default to tea tree first: it behaves predictably, blends cleanly, and its crisp, green character reads as instantly familiar.
