Tea Tree Oil (Extra Grade) Essential Oil is a natural aromatic oil obtained by steam distillation from Melaleuca alternifolia leaves, used as a fragrance ingredient and sensory modifier in cosmetic formulations.
This is a pure 100% essential oil, non‑adulterated (no synthetic dilution or extension). It delivers a clean, camphoraceous-herbal character with strong, fresh diffusion appropriate for technical cosmetic use.
Typical aroma profile: fresh, camphoraceous, herbal-medicinal; volatility is generally a top-to-middle note depending on batch and origin.
Product Description: Extra Grade tea tree oil standardized to Terpinen‑4‑OL ≥43% (typical 43–48%), the principal active constituent. In leave‑on systems, low dosages produce a clean, fresh impression; higher dosages increase diffusion and intensity. In rinse‑off systems, higher ranges are typically needed to overcome surfactant headspace. For bar soap, adjust dosage to balance scent strength and processing behavior. Note: High concentrations may cause skin irritation, especially on facial skin; use appropriate, tested levels for the product type.
Usage: Suitable for creams, lotions, serums, balms, facial/body oils, shampoos, conditioners, body wash, and soaps.
Mixing method:
- Pre‑dilute in a suitable carrier (e.g., caprylic/capric triglyceride or natural esters) for precise dosing.
- In emulsions, add during cool‑down to minimize aroma loss (typically below 40°C).
- For surfactant systems or other aqueous bases, pre‑solubilize with Flora Solve Clear before adding to the base.
Usage rate: Leave‑on: 0.1–1% ; Rinse‑off/Soap: 0.3–3%
Product characteristics: Colorless to pale‑yellow mobile liquid; strong camphoraceous, fresh herbal aroma.
Solubility: Oil‑soluble; miscible with carrier oils/esters; soluble in alcohol; not water‑soluble (use Flora Solve Clear for aqueous systems).
Storage: Store tightly closed, away from light, heat, and air exposure; amber packaging preferred. Refrigeration can slow oxidation. Best used within 24 months.
