The Benefits of Tea Tree Oil

We think it’s fair to say that team Lacora loves tea tree oil. We find the natural antiseptic benefits derived from the leaves of Melaleuca alrernifolia to be an essential ingredient for our products and our mission to provide effective, clean, natural products. 

Tea Tree Oil for Hair

Tea tree oil can be found in most of Lacora’s hair products. It has been proven to help with dandruff by helping keep the scalp clean and healthy. There are also known benefits of tea tree oil being beneficial in preventing hair loss. Tea tree oil helps keep your hair healthy by regulating moisture levels which can prevent breakage and fall out. Regulating the health of your scalp, moisture of your hair and keeping hair follicles clean with the use of tea tree oil has been studied to be far better than using products with severe chemicals that have been known to be harsh to your hair and scalp. 

Tea Tree Oil for Skin

Originally used medicinally as an antiseptic in Australia, tea tree oil has been used to treat and disinfect for thousands of years. Abrasions and open cuts are susceptible to infection from bacteria entering your bloodstream, treating with tea tree oil can kill bacteria and prevent infections. Tea tree oil can also help the wound heal faster by reducing inflammation. Its all encompassed properties of being a natural antiseptic that reduces inflammation makes tea tree oil great for the use of acne, dry itchy skin caused by dermatitis, fungal infections and open wounds.    

Tea Tree Oil for Sanitizing

Cleaning surfaces with cleaners that are safe for the household are top of mind for most. Most cleaners are loaded with chemicals that are harmful for our health and the environment. Tea tree oil is a safe, natural antiseptic that when mixed with the right ingredients makes for an effective all-purpose cleaner and sanitizer that kills bacteria and viruses known for causing the common cold, flu and other illnesses (E.coli, S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae).
