Tea Tree Floral Water
Antibacterial, antifungal, acne control, scalp care, household disinfectant, pet care
Tea tree hydrosol is the aromatic aqueous co-product from the steam distillation of Melaleuca alternifolia leaves and terminal branchlets for tea tree essential oil production. While the essential oil captures the concentrated lipophilic antimicrobial terpenes, the hydrosol retains the water-soluble antimicrobial compounds, including trace terpinen-4-ol and other hydrophilic constituents that provide gentle yet effective antimicrobial activity without the potential irritation of the concentrated essential oil. Our tea tree hydrosol is produced from Melaleuca alternifolia cultivated in Guangxi Province, where the subtropical climate supports optimal biomass and essential oil production, and distilled in stainless steel equipment to ensure pharmaceutical-grade hygiene.

Gentle, non-irritating antimicrobial toner for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Controls bacterial overgrowth (Propionibacterium acnes) while respecting the skin barrier. Suitable for daily use as a toner, facial mist, or in clay mask preparations. Far less likely to cause irritation than tea tree essential oil while providing meaningful antimicrobial benefit.
Anti-dandruff and scalp-soothing spray for seborrheic dermatitis, itchy scalp, and hair follicle health. The mild antimicrobial action helps control Malassezia yeast overgrowth associated with dandruff. Used as a between-wash scalp freshener and as an addition to shampoo formulations.
Natural, safe household disinfectant spray for kitchen surfaces, bathroom fixtures, cutting boards, and pet areas. Effective against a broad spectrum of household bacteria and fungi without the harsh chemicals of conventional disinfectants. Safe for use around children and pets. Can be used undiluted or in cleaning formulations.
Gentle antimicrobial spray for pet skin hot spots, minor wounds (after cleaning), paw soaks, and coat conditioning. Safe when licked in small quantities (unlike concentrated essential oils). Used in bird and small animal cage cleaning for its antimicrobial properties and low toxicity profile. Always consult veterinarian for specific conditions.

Custom packaging and private labeling available upon request.
Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dark place. Tea tree hydrosol is preservative-free; refrigerate after opening and use within 3-6 months. The antimicrobial properties provide some self-preservation but are insufficient for preventing all microbial growth. Shelf life (unopened): 12-18 months refrigerated; 6-12 months at room temperature.
Under recommended storage conditions — tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight — Tea Tree Hydrosol remains stable for 2 to 3 years. Monitor for any changes in aroma, color, or viscosity before use in production batches.
Tea Tree Hydrosol is steam distillation (co-product) from the fresh tea tree leaves and twigs of a plant in the Myrtaceae family. This method preserves the full spectrum of volatile aromatic compounds and bioactive constituents that define the oil''s therapeutic and sensory profile.
Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the batch-specific chemical profile (GC/MS or GC-FID), physical parameters (specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation), and organoleptic assessment. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) is also provided. Additional documentation — including GC/MS chromatograms, pesticide residue analysis, heavy metal testing, and allergen statements — is available upon request.
Standard MOQ is 1 kg for most hydrosol / floral waters, with bulk pricing available at 5 kg, 25 kg, and 180 kg drum quantities. Contact our sales team for current pricing and availability for your required volume.
