Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Cold Sore Cream

Thursday Plantation is an iconic Australian brand widely recognized for pioneering the commercial tea tree oil industry. Founded in 1976 when Eric White established a tea tree plantation in New South Wales after years of lobbying for a crown lease, the brand represents a deeply rooted Australian heritage. The brand focuses on the natural healing properties of Melaleuca alternifolia, commonly known as tea tree oil.

The product's manufacturing is primarily based in Australia, utilizing locally sourced ingredients where possible. In terms of ownership history, the brand was acquired by Integria Healthcare in 2011. Since 2024, Integria Healthcare and consequently the Thursday Plantation brand have been owned by the Australian private equity firm Admetus, reinforcing its status as an Australian-managed entity. This ownership structure ensures that the brand continues to operate with a focus on traditional natural healthcare solutions tailored for the global and local market.
