(WARNING: For external Use only. Keep out of reach of children.)

Melaleuca Alternifolia … Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil, the subject of Australian Standard 2782-1985 published by the Standards Association of Australia, incorporated by Royal charter.

A native tree of Australia, it has been used in traditional aboriginal medicine for centuries. It is a very powerful antiseptic, anti fungal and anti viral oil and can be used in the treatment of many skin complaints such as acne, dandruff, athletes foot, cold sores and insect bites. It is all natural and is considered the strongest natural antiseptic known to man. It is virtually non-irritant, can be used on a daily basis, and it is hypo-allergenic.

As a pure essential oil, it penetrates quickly and deeply into the skin. It leaves no oily film, no greasiness, almost seeming to evaporate. It is a very strong bactericide. The oil kills surface bacteria and germs whilst penetrating deeply to disinfect the skin, with no harmful side effect.
