Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) – with a fresh, crisp aroma, helps maintain a healthy-looking scalp and hair, and reduces the appearance of blemishes. Apply to feet and toenails when needed.This oil includes naturally occurring constituents terpinene-4-ol, gamma terpinene and alpha-terpinene.

Tea tree oil is derived from the leaves of the tea tree. The tea tree was named by eighteenth century sailors, who made tea that smelled like nutmeg from the leaves of the tree growing on the swampy southeast Australian coast. Do not confuse the tea tree with the unrelated common tea plant that is used to make black and green teas.
