Tea tree leaf water — a hydrosol with much milder activity than tea tree oil. Adds light antimicrobial and aromatic notes to formulas. Safer than the oil but still carries trace allergens.

Skin benefits

  • Mild antimicrobial support
  • Skin conditioning
  • Refreshing herbal scent
  • Gentler than tea tree oil

Known concerns

  • Trace terpenes (allergen potential)
  • Sensitization in tea-tree-allergic users
  • Not a substitute for proper preservation
