100% Pure Tea Tree Oil

Optima's Antiseptic Tea Tree oil is a 100% pure essential oil. Its antiseptic and antibacterial properties help clean and protect the skin naturally.

Optima's Tea Tree Oil comes direct from the plantation in Australia so we know it’s high quality. If that wasn’t enough Optima's Australian Tea Tree products do not contain parabens, SLS, synthetic perfumes or fragrances.

Although Tea Tree Oil is gentle enough to be applied to healthy skin, it can become sensitized to such a potent substance; it is possible to use pure Tea Tree oil on small areas of the skin for short periods but we recommend performing a patch test* before application – for larger skin areas we recommend diluting the oil (i.e. with a carrier oil), or choosing one of Optima's specially formulated Australian Tea Tree products such as antiseptic cream, spray, blemish gel or lotion.

Directions for Use:
For general and antiseptic use, apply one or two drops of oil onto cotton wool or dilute in 10ml carrier oil, apply as required.

For aromatherapy add 4-6 drops to a bath or vaporiser or dilute in 10ml carrier oil.

A skin patch test is recommended for first time use and people with sensitive skin.

Cautions:
If pregnant of suffering from a medical condition seek advice before use. Avoid contact with eyes. For external use only, keep out of the reach of children.



*Apply a small amount of the liquid to an inconspicuous area (i.e. inner arm) leave for 24 to 48 hours – if no irritation occurs it can be assumed you can use 100% pure oil, but do not apply it in the same area for more than 7 consecutive days without a break of at least 7 days. We do not recommend using 100% pure oil if you have sensitive or very dry skin. Should you experience a reaction to pure Tea Tree oil, or indeed any skin product cease application immediately – if irritation persists for more than 48 hours consult a healthcare practitioner.
