What are the methods for making tea tree essential oil

I believe many beauty-loving ladies have heard of tea tree essential oil. But little is known about how tea tree essential oil is made. The production of tea tree essential oil is very professional, and ordinary people like us only have a basic understanding of it. Don’t expect to be able to make tea tree essential oil by ourselves. There are three main methods of making tea tree essential oil: vacuum distillation, fat absorption, extraction, and solvent extraction. Various production methods have high requirements for professional equipment, and here is just a brief introduction.

Distillation is the oldest and most commonly used method. It is divided into steam distillation and vacuum distillation. The flavors of essential oils produced are also different. With the continuous progress of the times, the distillation method has also been greatly improved. Take steam distillation as an example. It puts plant materials into a distiller and heats the plants with steam to evaporate the essence of the plants and turn the plant essence into a steam state, which is then quickly frozen to produce a mixture of oil and water. Usually oil will float on top of water because water is heavier than oil, so it is easy to separate the oil and water.

Liposuction method: This method uses the physical property of fat to absorb essential oils. Embed a piece of glass in a square frame, spread a thin layer of fat (lard or butter) on the glass, and after dinner, put a layer of fresh petals on the fat. After about 24 hours, the essential oil contained in the petals will be completely absorbed by the fat. Turn the wooden frame over, the petals will automatically fall off, and then put another layer of fresh petals on the fat. Stack it up layer by layer like this, so that the petals are on two layers of glass made of fat on the top and bottom.

Due to space limitations, the production method of tea tree essential oil is introduced here. The production methods of tea tree essential oil introduced above require professional equipment and harsh production conditions, and have high requirements on craftsmanship, so don't try to make it yourself at home. Tea tree essential oil is originally produced in Australia. When purchasing, be sure to identify the origin to avoid being deceived.
