How to Use Tea Tree Oil

How to Use Tea Tree Oil

How do you use tea tree oil? Dilution is key. When cleaning surfaces with Tea Tree Oil, dilute it in water, adding a teaspoon to a gallon of water. Of course, we can't forget Tea Tree Oil's top uses for hair and skin, either: When applying Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil on your skin, add one or two drops to a wet cotton pad. For hair, mix in the same amount to your shampoo to reduce oil and remove excess buildup.

From Australia with Love

Every drop of our Tea Tree Oil begins with a relationship—our relationship with sustainable Australian farmers, which we began forming when we became the first company to bring Tea Tree Oil to the U.S. market in 1978. Developing these bonds over the decades enables us to get the first pick of every crop, sourcing only the highest quality steam-distilled oils from the arid plains of eastern Australia. That’s what makes our Tea Tree Oil the purest available, with higher levels of Terpinen-4—responsible for cleansing action— and lower levels of Cineole—responsible for skin irritation—than industry standards. We consider it part of our mission to make this premium quality Tea Tree Oil widely accessible, bringing it from Australia to personal care routines worldwide.

Our Promise to You

Trust is at the heart of every relationship, and you can trust that every bottle of our pure Tea Tree Oil meets the strictest quality standards. We are proud that our Tea Tree Oil is gluten-free, vegan and contains no SLS or artificial dyes or fragrances. We are also proud to be a certified B-Corp and Leaping Bunny certified, and to offer a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on every bottle.
