FAQ

How to verify the quality of a tea tree EO?
The ISO 4730 standard defines the quality criteria for tea tree: minimum 35% terpinen-4-ol, maximum 15% 1,8-cineole. A quality tea tree oil bears this standard on the label and has a certificate of analysis. Herbes et Traditions meets these standards.

Can tea tree be applied pure to the skin?
Yes, for adults, on a very localized area (a spot, a nail) and on an occasional basis. For regular body care, always dilute. Repeated pure application on large surfaces can cause skin sensitization.

Can tea tree be used as a mouthwash?
Yes, a few drops in a glass of water (without swallowing) for a cleansing mouthwash. Never ingest. Spit out after gargling.
