Tea Tree Oil
Back to Oils & Gel Page
Tea tree oil is an essential oil that can be used for several purposes, including keeping skin, hair and nails healthy. In addition to its scientifically backed benefits, tea tree oil is inexpensive and safe when used as directed. Although Melaleuca alternifolia is known as the tea tree, it should not be confused with the plant that produces leaves used to make black, green and oolong tea.
