What Is Tea Tree Essential Oil?
Tea tree essential oil is a type of oil often used for its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It is made from the Melaleuaca alternifolia plant, which comes from Australia. The oil is usually a yellowish color and is used in everything from shampoo to body wash. It is also a popular ingredient in acne-fighting products and may even be added to shampoos for dogs and cats because it can act as an insect repellent as well. The oil is usually purchased in pure or diluted form from most health food stores as well as online.
