Tea Tree Essential Oil 12ml - The Nature of Things

Product Description

One of my personal favourites - I am a real Tea Tree lover! 

Tea tree essential oil, derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, offers a variety of benefits and can be a versatile and natural alternative for cleaning purposes as well as for use in skincare and hair care. It is well known for it anti bacterial and anti microbial properties, which makes it one of the most popular essential oils to have in your sustainability toolkit. Here are ten of our favourite uses for this natural powerhouse. 

  1. Antimicrobial Properties - Tea tree oil possesses strong antimicrobial properties, making it effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It can be used to disinfect surfaces and prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms.

  2. Deodorizing: The oil has a fresh and clean scent that can help eliminate unpleasant odors. Use it to deodorize spaces like bathrooms, kitchens, and bins.

  3. Mold and Mildew Control: Tea tree oil is effective in inhibiting the growth of mold and mildew. Mix it with water and spray it in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, to prevent mold development.

  4. Air Purification: Diffusing tea tree oil can help purify the air by killing airborne bacteria and viruses. This is particularly useful during cold and flu seasons.

  5. Laundry Freshener: Add a few drops of tea tree oil to your laundry to give your clothes a fresh scent while also benefiting from its antibacterial properties. A great choice for those making their own laundry detergent or using soap nuts. 

  6. Pest Repellent: Tea tree oil can act as a natural insect repellent. Add a few drops to a spray bottle with water and use it to repel pests in the home.

  7. Insect Bites and Stings: The anti-inflammatory and soothing properties of tea tree oil make it useful for relieving itching and discomfort caused by insect bites and stings. Apply a diluted solution to the affected area

  8. Foot Odor and Fungus: Tea tree oil can be used to combat foot odor and fungal infections. Add a few drops to a foot soak or mix with a carrier oil for a refreshing foot massage.

  9. Lice Prevention: Tea tree oil can be added to shampoos or diluted with a carrier oil and applied to the hair to help prevent and repel lice.

  10. Hair Care: Adding tea tree oil to your shampoo or conditioner may help alleviate dandruff and promote a healthy scalp. Its antifungal properties can also assist in preventing scalp infections.

It's important to note that while tea tree oil is a natural alternative, it should be used with caution and in moderation. Always be sure to dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil (such as coconut oil or jojoba oil) before applying it to the skin, and perform a patch test to check for any adverse reactions. It's also essential to use tea tree oil with caution around pets and small children.  Additionally, pregnant individuals and those with certain medical conditions should consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils.

The Nature of Things was founded by Benoit Nicol in 2018, however Benoit’s love affair with essential oils and their benefits started many years before that. Growing up in Brittany, Benoit began working with a French producer of natural extracts, which opened his mind to the wonders of natural oils and their benefits.

He moved to New York and for over 20 years he worked with two of the best producers of natural oils in the world.  Their vast global network of farmers and distillers taught him about the importance of the terroir, where to yield the best oil from aromatic plants, the best time to harvest, how to prepare for extraction, the art of distillation and how to define what is a quality natural oil. The best ‘noses’ in the business taught him how to smell, how oils can live together and how they can make you feel, while scientists and aromatherapists taught him the positive effects the oils can have on your health and wellbeing. He learnt that each oil has a unique story and – perhaps even more importantly – he learnt what ‘good’ smells like.

In 2017 he moved to Dublin, and this life change provided him with the opportunity to start his own business. Having noticed how the market was flooded with underwhelming oils he knew there was an opportunity to use everything he’d learnt and his vast experience – from the farmers, the distillers, the ‘noses’, the scientists, the creatives and the market – to create a brand that celebrates the best quality natural oils and share the potential of their life enhancing features. And so The Nature of Things was born.

Benoit believes that essential oils are part of the ‘sustainable toolkit’: they are natural and biodegradable, come in a highly concentrated form so a small bottle goes a long way, and allow us to create lots of products at home. Their uses include:- as a room scent (to replace synthetic commercial products) using a diffuser or burner or by creating a simple spray from a few drops of essential oils in a spray bottle filled with water and alcohol. - as a surface cleaner due to their strong antibacterial properties (lemon, tea tree, lavender etc) typically using a mixture of vinegar, water and essential oils (or with baking soda).- in natural cleaning/detergent products to add a fresh natural scent (‘eco eggs’ in the washing machine, dryer balls , directly in the water for ironing, etc)- as body and bath products or perfumes- as natural repellent for mites, mosquitos, etc.- as small remedies (lavender for burns, eucalyptus for cold, etc)- for wellbeing in general, leveraging the benefits of the oils on our emotions which is an area of growing research.
