Skincare & First Aid

Natural Home Hygiene

Blending note
  • A "top-to-middle" note with a medicinal, fresh, and slightly woody aroma. While it is incredibly functional, some find its scent a bit "sharp" or "clinical."
  • Blending Tea Tree with other oils not only enhances its powerful antiseptic properties but also helps "round out" the scent for a more pleasant experience

Do you know?
  • It was named “Tea Tree” by Captain James Cook in the 1770s after he saw indigenous Australians brewing a spicy herbal tea from the leaves to prevent scurvy
  • During World War II, tea tree oil was considered so essential for treating soldier's wounds and foot fungus that those who harvested the oil were exempt from military service to ensure a steady supply

Contraindication
  • Never ingest (highly toxic if swallowed); must be diluted for topical use to avoid skin irritation
  • Highly toxic to cats and dogs even when diffused in small spaces
