Tea Tree Essential Oil (11 ml)

Pros

• Skin and Beauty Benefits:
• Fights acne and blemishes: Tea tree oil’s antibacterial properties target acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes), reducing inflammation, redness, and swelling. A 5% tea tree gel has been shown as effective as benzoyl peroxide, with fewer side effects

• Heals wounds and minor cuts:
• Tea tree oil can accelerate healing by reducing bacterial load and stimulating immune responses in minor abrasions and scrapes
• Reduces fungal infections:
• Effective against athlete’s foot, nail fungus, jock itch, and ringworm; studies show regular topical application can improve outcomes with fewer side effects than some conventional medications
• Hair and Scalp Care:
• Reduces dandruff and itching: The antifungal properties help control Malassezia yeast, improving scalp health and reducing flaking
• Promotes hair growth and scalp health: Unclogs hair follicles, nourishes roots, and addresses scalp inflammation to support stronger hair
