Tea Tree Oil — Purifying Essential Oil for Shampoo & Body Wash

Product Overview

Tea Tree Oil is a core shampoo and body wash ingredient used by formulators worldwide for purifying essential oil applications. This cosmetic / pharma grade essential oil material is supplied in bulk by VeraVita Biotech for B2B brands, contract manufacturers and private-label producers who need reliable quality, full documentation and consistent supply from China. Whether you are building a sulphate-free shampoo, a conditioning body wash, an anti-dandruff treatment or a mild baby wash, Tea Tree Oil is the functional raw material that helps the formula perform.

Key Features

• Pure Melaleuca alternifolia leaf essential oil
• High terpinen-4-ol content (≥ 38%) for scalp and skin purification
• Fresh, clean, camphoraceous aroma
• Widely used in anti-dandruff, clarifying and scalp-refresh shampoos
• Available with COA including terpinen-4-ol, cineole and limonene ratios

How It Works

• Microbiome balancing: terpinen-4-ol disrupts microbial membranes, helping control dandruff-associated yeast and acne-associated bacteria.
• Scalp refresh: the volatile terpenes create a cooling, clean sensation and help reduce itching.
• Oil control: regular use in rinse-off scalp products helps maintain a balanced, less oily scalp environment.

Typical Applications

• Anti-dandruff shampoo: purifying scalp shampoo, men’s grooming shampoo
• Body wash: sports shower gel, acne body wash, refreshing body cleanser
• Skincare: spot treatments, clarifying toners, masks
• Oral / hygiene: mouthwash, hand sanitiser fragrance
• OEM / ODM: tea-tree based clarifying personal-care lines
