Product Overview
Aqua Oleum Tea Tree Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree). It delivers a medicinal, camphoraceous aroma and is prized for:
- Antimicrobial power (fights bacteria, fungi, and viruses – Kenya’s first-aid staple).
- Skin purification (treats acne, fungal infections, dandruff, and minor wounds).
- Respiratory relief (eases congestion, coughs, and sinus pressure).
- Household cleaning (natural disinfectant for surfaces, laundry, and air).
- Immune support (strengthens defenses during cold/rainy seasons).
In Kenya, it’s a non-negotiable first-aid essential for combating infections in humid climates, purifying water in rural areas, and as a natural alternative to synthetic antiseptics.
Key Advantages:
- High terpinen-4-ol content (35–45% – primary antimicrobial compound).
- Climate-resilient potency (stable in heat/humidity; non-phototoxic).
- Most affordable antiseptic oil (cheaper than manuka/kanuka).
