Tea Tree Essential Oil

Tea Tree Essential Oil

Recommended Concentration:

Skincare: Tea tree essential oil should be used at a concentration of 0.5% to 2% in skincare formulations.

Haircare: For scalp treatments, add tea tree oil at 1% to 3%. It helps control dandruff, soothes itchy scalp, and promotes a healthy scalp environment for hair growth.

Solubility:

Tea tree essential oil is oil-soluble, so it should be added to the oil phase of your formulation. If you are working with emulsions (creams, lotions), you will need an emulsifier to blend it with the water phase.

For products like face oils or serums, you can mix it directly with carrier oils like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, or coconut oil.

pH Range:

Tea tree essential oil doesn’t have a specific pH range, but the formulation it’s used in should generally be within 4.5 to 6.5 for optimal skin compatibility, especially in facial products.

Temperature Sensitivity:

Tea tree essential oil is heat-sensitive. To preserve its therapeutic properties, it should be added during the cool-down phase of your formulation (below 40°C), especially in creams, lotions, and hair products.

Compatibility:

Tea tree oil works well in combination with other essential oils like lavender, peppermint, rosemary, and eucalyptus, providing synergistic benefits for skin and scalp care.

It blends well with carrier oils like jojoba oil, argan oil, or rosehip oil for enhanced moisturizing and soothing effects.

It can also be paired with other active ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid in acne-targeting or skin-soothing formulations.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Tea tree oil is often used in facial oils, spot treatments, acne serums, toners, and cleansers. Its antibacterial properties make it effective for treating acne, pimples, and blackheads.

Haircare Products: Tea tree oil is a popular ingredient in shampoos, conditioners, scalp treatments, and hair masks. It helps to soothe the scalp, reduce dandruff, and promote a healthy environment for hair growth.

Body Care Products: Can be included in body lotions, body washes, and deodorants, where it helps fight bacteria and keeps skin fresh and clean.
