Frequently asked questions about tea tree

Can tea tree be applied pure to the skin?

No: tea tree essential oil is very concentrated and must be diluted. It is usually used in formulated care or very targeted local application, never pure on the entire face.

Is tea tree suitable for sensitive skin?

With caution: it is a powerful active ingredient. Sensitive skin types should prefer milder purifiers like neem extract, or do a preliminary test.

Tea tree for what type of imperfection?

It is especially appreciated as a local SOS gesture for temporary imperfections on combination to oily skin.

What to associate it with?

Zinc PCA, neem, green clay, prickly pear — for targeted purification while maintaining balance.
