tea tree
Antiseptic oil source
Tea tree is a small tree or shrub native to Australia, particularly *Melaleuca alternifolia*, whose leaves yield an essential oil with antiseptic and medicinal properties.
Tea tree oil is widely used in skincare products, shampoos, and household cleaners for its antimicrobial effects.
The name comes from early European settlers who brewed the leaves as a tea substitute, though the plant is unrelated to true tea.
She dabbed tea tree oil on the blemish.
