Diluted topically, Tea Tree, Melaleuca alternifolia, cleanses and purifies the skin, helps reduce the appearance of blemishes, and helps maintain clean, healthy-looking nails.

What’s in Tea Tree, what’s behind its cleansing reputation, and where the research supports it.
Research supports the chemistry behind Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) Essential Oil’s long-standing cleansing use.
Terpinen-4-ol
Tea Tree’s main chemical constituent and the key driver behind its cleansing and purifying reputation. Tea Tree is naturally rich in terpinen-4-ol, and clinical research supports the oil’s cleansing and skin benefits. γ-Terpinene + α-Terpinene are other naturally occurring constituents found alongside terpinen-4-ol in Tea Tree essential oil.
CPTG® stands for Certified Pure Tested Grade, dōTERRA's quality standard for its essential oils. In plain terms: every batch is tested to confirm it’s pure essential oil and nothing else, with no fillers or synthetics. It's how you know the oil in the bottle is exactly what it says it is.
