Home Remedies With Tea Tree
As you may have noticed over the course of the recent re-launch of our Tea Tree Oil skincare line, we are quite smitten with this tiny leaf extract, especially in all of its reformulated glory! While we know that Tea Tree Oil is excellent for gently clearing up blemishes, it also has dozens of other uses in the home and as a natural remedy. Here are a few quick and easy ways you can easily use tea tree for common problems and household chores.
- More and more people are stepping away from antiperspirants and exploring natural or homemade deodorants. Tea tree is excellent at taming bacteria that might cause odor, and the baking soda will help keep you dry all day.
- If you’ve got a particularly stubborn stain that just won’t budge, try dabbing a little pure tea tree oil onto it. It’s a natural solvent that isn’t toxic and won’t harm most fabrics, but do a swatch test on a small patch, just in case.
- Tea tree is also an excellent treatment for dandruff, and you can simply add it to your favorite shampoo. Try a couple of drops in your favorite bottle, and you should see an improvement in a few short days.
I think it is great to use natural products. From cleaners to cosmetics, it is just better for us and the planet. Go Green.

Herbal treatments are very good compare to other treatments. I always prefer herbal treatments. Your site is very good.

I’m really disappointed that you had to go and “reformulate” a winning line of products. They were great as is, and it’s too bad well enough wasn’t left alone.

Hi!
We’re really glad you were so crazy about our line of Tea Tree products, but don’t worry, we’ve only made them better. We’ve kept the same formula and simply added Tamanu oil and Lemon Tea Tree to create an even more effective line of products. Give them a shot, we’re sure you’ll love them just as much as the others!

I, too, am disappointed in the reformulation of these products. Particularly the foaming facial cleanser. You have done much more than added the two ingredients you mentioned above. Its clear from a review of the two ingredient lists that the proportions are different, and some ingredients are now gone (peppermint oil, e.g.). But most of all the scent is really not nice anymore. It has a much heavier petroleum smell. I just realized this when I used my new bottle. I hope the outcome is the same on my skin as the old formula.
