      Tea Tree Essential Oil

      Posted by April Stockdale

      We use Tea Tree Essential Oil daily. It's gentle enough to be used neat on a pimple but strong enough to effectively wash more serious wounds. It keeps things CLEAN, but that effectiveness does come with a medicinal smell. If you find the smell bothersome, try blending Tea Tree with Bergamot and Lemon for a bright and refreshing scent.

      At Pink Apothecary, we source Tea Tree Essential Oil with Less than 3% of 1.8 cineol (a skin irritant). The maximum allowed by the Australian standard is 10% - our standards are in place to keep you safe. We also make sure our Tea Tree Essential Oil has a minimum of 40% terpinene-4-ol, which is the main compound responsible for its germicidal activity. Again, Australian standards are lower at 30%.

      *** As a company, we have chosen not to sell essential oil singles. We believe a properly formulated synergy amplifies the sum of all its parts. While each essential oil is fantastic on its own, it's as a team they become mighty; we like the science of blending. Because of this, I am often asked which retail essential oil company I trust for singles. Ancient Apothecary is a brand I trust: Tea Tree.
