Tea Tree & Manuka Oil

Effectiveness from nature



Tea Tree Oil

The term tea tree (Melaleuca) encompasses several species of shrubs and trees of the Melaleuca genus, which belongs to the myrtle family. The most important tea tree is the Melaleuca alternifolia species found in Australia, from which alva tea tree oil is obtained.

The essential oil from the leaves and twig tips is used. It is extracted by means of gentle steam distillation. Due to its antiseptic, bactericidal, and fungicidal effects, tea tree oil is mostly used in dermatology.

Trust is good, control is better

alva natural cosmetics uses oils from certified organic cultivation and wild harvesting from Australia and South Africa. Cultivation takes place on small plots to exclude monocultures, large-scale clearing, and the associated impairment of the groundwater level. Irrigation is carried out using sprinklers directly after planting and during extreme droughts. No synthetic sprays or artificial fertilizers are used; weed control is carried out by livestock and manual labor, and pest control is managed by hand or by nature itself. This is the only way to obtain a high-energy and qualitatively excellent oil according to the alva principle.

alva natural cosmetics uses tea tree oil in the Rhassoul and foot care series (especially in the callous balm) as well as in the hand cream and various special products such as the repair spray. Naturally, it is also available as a pure oil for versatile applications in different sizes, from the small and practical 10 ml travel size to the 100 ml economy bottle.

Manuka Oil

100 % pure, essential oil of the South Sea myrtle (Leptospermum scoparium). Manuka oil, also known as "the New Zealand tea tree oil", comes from pure, hand-harvested wild growth in New Zealand and is particularly skin-friendly. Its powers overlap in many points with those of Australian tea tree oil, yet it is considered even milder. The diverse application possibilities are derived from the antiseptic properties of manuka oil:
It unfolds its high efficiency particularly in the care of foot skin prone to fungi, e.g., between the toes. Furthermore, it is also excellently suited for sitz baths.

Manuka oil is used, among others, in the alva Rhassoul and foot care series. Also available as a pure, natural oil for versatile uses at home and on trips.
