Tea Tree Hydrosol

Melaleuca Alternifolia (Leaf Water)

Caution: Please do not confuse Tea Tree Hydrosol with Tea Tree Essential Oil.

Tea Tree Hydrosol (Melaleuca Alternifolia Hydrosol) is the water-soluble "essential oil" obtained from hydrodistillation of the leaves of the Tea Tree plant or also known as Melaleuca Alternifolia (Leaf Water). Hydrosols are a byproduct of making essential oils and contains small traces of that particular oil, however it is a tonic water that contains the water-soluble therapeutic properties of the plant that are not present in the essential oil.
