Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is extracted from the Melaleuca alternifolia tree, which is native to Australia. Aboriginal Australians have long used it in traditional remedies. Known for its antiseptic and purifying properties, this essential oil can be especially beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. It helps soothe irritation and reduce redness. When used topically, it should always be diluted with a carrier oil, such as coconut or jojoba oil.
