Tea Tree Oil Shampoo

Among the many benefits and uses of tea tree oil, it is an effective active ingredient for hair care products. Tea tree oil shampoo, in particular, has become a wildly successful addition to many manufacturers' product lines.

Tea Tree Oil Benefits
Besides it pleasing and invigorating aroma, tea tree oil is a natural anti-fungal. It is used effectively in hair products to soothe the scalp, help clear scalp acne and dermatitis, and help clear flakes and itching. It is popular both as a daily shampoo and has found its way into many anti-dandruff shampoos for its healing and repairing properties.

When combined with active ingredients such as Jojoba Oil, Emu Oil, or Panthenol, it helps make a powerful "cocktail" to clean and improve hair health - increasing circulation and naturally removing oil from the scalp and follicles.

Tea Tree Oil Uses
While most well known for use in hair products, it is also an excellent additive in skin care products. You'll find it used in face washes, acne toners, and products to treat adult acne or rosacea. It is a powerful antifungal and works well to clean sensitive skin of bacteria and fungus without irritation. It naturally hydrates and infuses moisture working well in lotions and creams as well as key components of hair treatments to increase flexibility and strength to dry or brittle hair.

For the all the benefits to men and women, it is still the smell that I like the most. As a hair products manufacturer we are surrounded by just about every ingredient you can imagine - for all purposes. However, I can always tell when the mixers and fillers are set-up for a run of Tea Tree Shampoo. The office and plant smell great - and everyone seems to be in a great mood...uh? As a side note, several studies have shown the scent of Tea Tree is similar to peppermint, spearmint or menthol. It has the ability to awaken the senses and increase alertness. Not a bad side-effect for a shampoo!

Tea Tree Oil Shampoo is gentle on the scalp, effectively cleans dirt and oil, and helps remove bacteria and fungus. Equally effective for men and women, it is a shampoo that will awaken your senses and give your day a great start.
