Tea Tree oil is perhaps one of the best known and most commonly used essential oils. Most of us will have come across the name whether it’s from the skincare products we use daily or from perusing the latest shampoo options at the supermarket. Indeed, this versatile oil can even be found in insect repellent and floor cleaners. Along with plenty of online bedtime reading citing its glorious benefits, why is tea tree oil such a hot topic, and why is this natural wonder incorporated in so many of today’s products?
Tea tree is an extraordinarily versatile essential oil that boasts antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and healing properties. The oil contains several beneficial compounds, including terpinen-4-ol, that research shows kills certain viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The research also appears to show an increase in the activity of white blood cells which helps fight germs. It all sounds too good to be true, but the research supports what the Aboriginals knew all along making tea tree oil a valuable natural remedy not to be overlooked.
In an age where everyone is conscious of eating healthy and striving to use only natural and organic products, it seems only logical that tea tree oil has become the number one natural remedy. Ultimately, it’s nature’s antiseptic that prevents and treats bacterial and fungal infections and promotes healing too. That’s precisely why the natural properties of this truly essential oil make it an ideal ingredient in Balmy Fox’s range of skincare for the naturally active.
