AUSTRALIAN ERICIFOLIA
Meet Lavender Tea Tree — a distinctive Australian native with a personality all its own. Wildcrafted from select populations on Flinders Island, Tasmania.
Fresh, herbaceous character reminiscent of Tea Tree with softer floral notes reminiscent of Lavender.
What Makes Australian Ericifolia Unique
The common name Lavender Tea Tree offers a clue to this oil's unusual aromatic personality. Australian Ericifolia belongs to the same botanical family as Tea Tree and shares some of its fresh, herbaceous character.
At the same time, its aroma carries softer floral undertones reminiscent of Lavender. The result comes from one distinctive plant — Melaleuca ericifolia — not a mixture.
Young Living highlights Australian Ericifolia as a wonderful companion for beauty routines, aromatherapy sessions, outdoor activities, and refreshing your space.
The Botanical at a Glance
Wildcrafted on Flinders Island
Australian Ericifolia comes from Melaleuca ericifolia, an Australian native commonly known as Lavender Tea Tree. The bright plant grows approximately 10–26 feet tall around the coastal areas and hilly slopes of Flinders Island in Tasmania.
Young Living sources the oil from wildcrafted populations of Melaleuca ericifolia on Flinders Island. Only select populations are harvested to help promote oil consistency and sustainability.

Connect the Dots
Australian Ericifolia reminds us that beauty often grows in unexpected places. A quiet plant on a small Tasmanian island offers a distinctive aroma unlike any other. When we slow down to observe — the plant, the place, the character, the everyday moments — wellness becomes less about doing more and more about noticing what supports the whole picture.
