Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil, derived from the needles of the Melaleuca alternifolia tree that grows mainly in Australia, has a well-deserved reputation in the world of hair and skin care. Known for its powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, this natural oil is often used to treat various skin conditions and promote overall skin and hair health.

What is Tea Tree oil good for?

The benefits of Tea Tree oil in skin and hair care:

• Acne and pimples: Tea tree oil is an effective treatment for acne. It has antibacterial properties that help fight the bacteria that cause acne. It can also reduce inflammation and speed up the healing of pimples, with less chance of scarring.
• Redness and inflammation: This oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness and swelling associated with inflammatory conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
• Oily skin: It regulates sebum production.
• Dandruff: This active ingredient is a popular solution against dandruff. It can soothe the scalp, reduce flaking and help restore the scalp's healthy balance.
• Hair care: Tea tree oil can also be used in hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners. It can promote hair growth by cleansing the scalp and stimulating follicles.

How to use tea tree oil

It is important to dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil, such as jojoba oil, before applying it directly to the skin to avoid irritation. As it can cause skin irritation, we recommend using the ingredient 'ready-to-use' in a product. The shampoo, cream or other product contains a good amount of the active ingredient and minimises the risk of irritation.
