Lemon Tea Tree Essential Oil (Leptospermum petersonii)

Botanical Brilliance from Nature

Sourced from the vibrant, citrus-scented leaves of the Leptospermum petersonii tree, our Lemon Tea Tree Essential Oil is 100% pure and steam distilled to preserve its aromatic integrity. Native to Australia and now thoughtfully cultivated in regions like Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and parts of Africa, this essential oil boasts a bright, zesty aroma—sparkling citrus with herbaceous undertones and leafy, aldehydic heart notes.

Also known as Lemon-Scented Tea Tree, Leptospermum petersonii is a compact, fragrant tree often grown as an ornamental shrub. While it shares a family lineage (Myrtaceae) with the better-known Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), its scent and therapeutic profile are uniquely uplifting and fresh—not to be confused with true Lemon (Citrus limon), despite the name.

Historically, both Lemon Tea Tree and Tea Tree leaves were used by indigenous Australian tribes as natural remedies. Crushed leaves were applied directly to wounds and secured with mudpacks. In New Zealand, the Maori used Lemon Tea Tree to treat burns, infections, and various skin irritations—testament to the plant’s natural healing power.
