Tea Tree Essential Oil

TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL

Here’s a highly active, highly versatile essential oil that’s abundant in natural goodness and a true Aussie favourite - Tea Tree Oil.

Sourced from the Australian native Melaleuca alternifolia tree, Tea Tree Oil has been used for centuries by Indigenous Australians for its powerful cleansing and purifying properties. This natural oil contains over 100 natural compounds, primarily terpenes, which give it remarkable antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory benefits. As such, Tea Tree Oil is widely used in skincare, hair care, and first aid, and is especially valued for its ability to combat acne, soothe dandruff, and act as a natural antiseptic for minor cuts and bites. Its fresh, earthy aroma and natural deodorising properties also make it an excellent choice for personal hygiene and household cleaning, too.

Highly popular in lotions, creams, washes, shampoos, and other cosmetic formulations, use Tea Tree Oil for skin products or dilute it and use directly on the skin to unlock its purifying, cleansing, and skin-supporting benefits.

• Tea Tree Oil naturally fights bacteria and fungi, making it a powerful choice for skin and scalp care.
• Rich in terpinen-4-ol, Tea Tree Oil is great for soothing irritation, reducing redness, and support clearer skin. When diluted and applied topically, it has been seen to help reduce symptoms of acne, eczema, chickenpox and athlete’s foot.
• With natural antioxidants like limonene and α-terpineol, Tea Tree Oil protects against environmental stressors and promotes healthy-looking skin.
• The antiseptic power of Tea Tree Oil makes it an excellent choice for first aid, helping to cleanse minor cuts, burns, and insect bites.
• Tea Tree Oil’s invigorating scent and clarifying properties refresh the senses and help boost focus and alertness.
• Antimicrobial and antiviral properties in Tea Tree Oil help protect against harmful bacteria and are considered beneficial for immune support.
• Tea Tree Oil’s gentle decongestant effects, thanks to 1,8-cineole and α-pinene, help ease breathing when diffused or inhaled.
• The natural cleansing power of γ-terpinene in Tea Tree Oil is perfect for purifying the scalp, reducing dandruff, and promoting balanced hair health - it's even known to be one of the best natural oils for dealing with head lice.
• Tea Tree Oil’s fresh, herbal aroma naturally neutralises odours, making it an ideal addition to personal care and home cleaning products.
