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.

Nathalie’ s Tips
Wellness Advocate, Germany
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.
