Organic tea tree essential oil, Melaleuca alternifolia, has gained immense recognition as the strongest anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial essential oil. Tea tree essential oil is a popular addition to skin care formulations for its germ-killing properties. It is often used in winter-time cold formulations to keep germs from spreading. Tea tree essential oil is helpful within acne products and can help fight cold sores and heal wounds. It blends well with lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, niaouli, spikenard, sandalwood and vetiver.
