Question 1

What is the difference between lemon tea tree (Leptospermum petersonii) and classical tea tree?

Accepted Answer

Lemon tea tree (Leptospermum petersonii) has a high citral content (geranial, neral), giving an intense lemony aroma, whereas classical tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is dominated by terpinen-4-ol with a characteristic herbaceous-green profile. Both belong to the Myrtaceae family but differ strongly in chemotype and aroma.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml lemon tea tree essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Leptospermum petersonii oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, use within 12 months, as citral-rich oils are somewhat more sensitive to oxidation.

Question 3

Can lemon tea tree essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Lemon tea tree essential oil should be diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 1-2% concentration for skin preparations, as citral may irritate sensitive skin. A patch test is recommended on sensitive skin. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
