Tea tree essential oil is derived from the leaves of the tea tree plant, which is native to Australia.
The oil has been used for centuries by the indigenous people of Australia for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties. Today, tea tree oil is commonly used in skin and hair care products, as well as in household cleaning products, due to its natural ability to kill germs and fungi. Some people also use it as a natural remedy for acne, dandruff, and other skin conditions. It is important to dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil before applying it to the skin, as it can be irritating when used undiluted.
