Description: The Tea Tree Oil Story
First used centuries ago by the Bundjalung Aboriginals to brew a refreshing tea, tea tree oil's many antiseptic and healing properties were scientifically found to be non-irritating to normal skin cells and almost 13 times more effective than carbolic as a germicide. Its healing and antiseptic properties became legendary during World War II, when Australian soldiers brought it to Pacific battlefronts as an antiseptic and anti-fungal.
Tea tree oil is today regarded as an all natural antiseptic used to help combat and soothe a wide range of minor skin irritations such as cuts, burns and insect bites. Top-rated spas across the country use the oil to reduce swelling and redness associated with blemishes, and irritation after tweezing and waxing.
Desert Essence was the first to bring tea tree oil to America from Australia-more than twenty years ago-and today manufactures over 60 all-natural tea tree oil products.
Our tea tree oil products generally exceed industry standards: our terpinen-4-ol levels are typically at 38%, as opposed to the 36% level attributed to other brands, and our cineole levels are generally less than 3%. The Desert Essence exclusive partnership with Australia's leading tea tree oil farmer insures delivery of the highest quality tea tree oil products in the world.
Uses: The antiseptic and cleansing benefits of tea tree oil are used in shampoos and conditioners, skin care lotions, oral care products, moisturizers and deodorants. In fact, tea tree oil has become so popular, The Tea Tree Encyclopedia lists its uses as wide-ranging as an effective acne, chronic dandruff or head lice treatment, as a skin irritant antiseptic and as a powerful anti-fungal.
Cautions: Do not use full strength on face. Use only as directed. Avoid getting in eyes or mucous membranes. In case of serious wounds or burns consult a physician. If redness, irritation , swelling, pain or infections occur, stop use immediately and consult a physician. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
