Organic Tea Tree Oil - Africa

4 reviews

A very purifying and balancing essential oil, it is the ideal ally for skin with imperfections. Its virtues are numerous and it is reputed to gently stimulate the body's natural defences. It has the same properties as its Australian counterpart, which is rare and expensive due to the drought this year. Its smell is a little less fine, but its price is milder.

Precautions for use

Pregnant women: preferably avoid during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Tea tree oil is well tolerated and there are no known contraindications. It is non-dermocaustic, gentle on the skin and mucous membranes and is one of the only oils that can be applied undiluted; in the case of regular use, it is preferable to dilute it systematically.
However, it should be checked that this essential oil is sensitive to oxidation; oxidised, it becomes irritating to the skin. The elbow test is a wise precaution to check this point.
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with the eyes.
