Tea Tree oil is derived from the steam-distilled leaves of the Australian tea tree. Not only is Tea Tree therapeutic for topical use in a broad spectrum of skin, hair and nail care, but is great for aromatherapy too.
Skin Care
Tea tree oil is a helpful addition to treat, heal and soothe skin conditions like Acne, Oily Skin and Eczema because of its potent antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It provides relief for itching, redness and swelling and manages breakouts and blemishes.

Precautions
Tea Tree Oil should never be ingested or swallowed, as it can be toxic. Even though you can apply tea tree oil directly to infected areas, it can cause skin irritation if you have sensitive skin. We recommend that you do a sensitivity test first, and that the tea tree oil be diluted with a carrier oil like jojoba, olive, coconut oil, or sweet almond oil, or a small amount of water before applying it to the skin.
