Ingredient

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

Tea tree oil

An essential oil commonly used in products for blemish-prone skin. Like all essential oils it carries its own fragrance components.

What it does

  • Fragrance

    Gives the product its scent, or masks a base odour.

  • Conditioning agent

    Improves how skin or hair feels and behaves.

What we tell people

  • Contains fragrance

    This product contains fragrance. Fragrance is one of the more common causes of contact irritation, which is why many people prefer to avoid it.

    Why: Fragrance is the most frequently cited preference in cosmetics, and "parfum" on a label can cover many undisclosed components.

  • Contains essential oils

    This product contains plant-derived essential oils, which carry their own naturally occurring fragrance components.

    Why: Essential oils are often chosen as a "natural" alternative to fragrance, but they contain fragrance compounds themselves, so people avoiding fragrance usually want to know.
