Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil Overview

Tea tree oil is derived not from tea leaves but from the leaves of myrtle trees and Melaleuca bushes, native to Malaysia, Australia, and Southeast Asia. This concentrated oil is intended for external use only, and caution should be exercised when applying it to the skin.

Benefits of Tea Tree Oil:
