ETTO brings you the next generation in therapeutic botanicals with full-spectrum, steam extracted terpinen-4-ol, the bioactive component in the Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) plant. Clinically proven to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic properties, Terpinen-4-ol in its purist, unadulterated form is one of nature’s most potent and healing extracts.
ETTO manages our Tea Tree from soil to oil. Grown, steam distilled and bottled in Australia on Bundjalung country.
ETTO Tea Tree grown on Australian farms has a superior quality and fragrance. We use the traditional steam distillation method to selectively extract the precious oil gently using only steam to produce the purest oil.
Tea Tree oil has a long history of use for remedial purposes.
The indigenous Bundjalung people of Eastern Australia first started using the plant as a natural remedy.
One of the areas where Tea Trees grow in abundance is called Bungawalbyn which translates to ‘healing ground.’ The lagoons in the area are known as ‘healing waters’ for the effect the Tea Tree leaves have when they release their oil into the water.
In the 1920s, Tea Tree was identified as an antiseptic. Considerable research and clinical trials since have demonstrated that Tea Tree oil has bactericidal and fungicidal properties.
Every ANZAC (Australian & New Zealand Army Corps) was given a bottle of Tea Tree oil in their kits during WW1 and WW2.
The major bioactive component of Tea Tree Oil is Terpinen-4-ol. ETTO oil contains a high level (35 – 48%) of Terpinen-4-ol.
