TEA TREE OIL

Tea Tree Oil is a powerful essential oil extracted from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant,. The oil is obtained through steam distillation from the narrow leaves of the tree, and it has a distinct, fresh, and slightly medicinal scent.

Tea tree oil is widely known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular ingredient in skincare, haircare, and therapeutic products. It contains several active compounds, with terpinen-4-ol being one of the most potent in terms of antibacterial and antifungal effects. Due to its versatility and effectiveness, tea tree oil has become a staple in both natural health and cosmetic formulations.

Tea tree oil is perhaps best known for its strong antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. These properties make it highly effective in treating a variety of skin conditions, particularly acne, fungal infections (such as athlete’s foot and ringworm), and minor cuts or abrasions. It helps cleanse the skin by eliminating bacteria and pathogens, reducing the risk of infection.
