Tea Tree Essential Oil 101
YOU NEED:
Tea Tree Essential Oil
Tea Tree Essential Oil definitely has a distinct scent. It has a super earthy, herbal quality to it, as well as a hint of bitterness, which we find blends really well with sweeter aromas like Lavender or Lemon.
Its astringent and antibacterial properties make it a favourite to keep on your top shelf—we love adding a few drops to a face steam or even just applying it directly to blemishes. It’s also great for cleaning pretty much all surfaces: countertops, shower heads, jewellery—you name it.
