TEA TREE
15ml
Tea Tree essential oil possesses over 92 different compounds and can be used for a multitude of wellness applications .
dōTERRA sources its Tea Tree essential oil from Australia and Kenya , and here ’ s why : Tea Tree essential oil is derived from the Melaleuca alternifolia tree , native only to Australia , where it has existed for over 36,000 years . The dense forest land , freshwater lakes , and swamps near Australia ’ s east coast create a unique environment for Melaleuca alternifolia to thrive . Similarly , parts of Kenya provide ideal growing conditions to those in Australia , allowing tea tree to flourish .
Choosing to source Tea Tree oil from Kenya supports smallholder farmers in rural areas , increasing their income more than the earnings produced by traditional staple crops , all while ensuring the highest quality essential oil .
TANGERINE
15ml
Tangerine is unique among citrus oils because of its diverse chemical compounds . Including significant amounts of alpha-pinene , myrcene , and even linalool , its sweet taste and fragrance can be both uplifting and calming . Use Tangerine to boost the flavour of your favourite desserts and smoothies or simply add it to a glass of water for added benefits !
Reducing Waste with Tangerine In Brazil , tangerines are produced mainly for the fresh fruit industry . Fruit that cannot be sold due to blemishes or bruising is pressed into Tangerine essential oil , compensating farmers for fruit which would have otherwise been wasted with no opportunity for income .

I love using Tangerine in the kitchen , for example , in my recipe for a Tangerine Spritz Mocktail – perfect for hot summer days . Combine 200 ml sparkling water with 100 ml orange juice , 1 or 2 drops of Tangerine essential oil , ice cubes and fresh mint for garnish !
Before showering , I like to place a drop of Tangerine oil on the shower floor , creating a spa-like experience .
I use Tea Tree most often in the bathroom , it ’ s a true multitasker for skin care .
My daughters use it to reduce blemishes or skin irritations , while promoting a fresh , even complexion .
