BENEFITS OF TEA TREE FOR SKIN
THIS PURIFYING PLANT WORKS IN MANY WAYS, AND IT’S ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR THOSE WITH OILY, BLEMISH-PRONE SKIN.
We understand blemishes can get under your skin in more ways than one. And though we’re all about embracing imperfections, we also want you to feel in control of your skin. If you often find yourself battling with blemishes or struggling with oily skin, turn to tea tree – a powerful yet natural ingredient that helps skin feel cleansed, purified and mattified. Discover how this small but mighty plant can help oily, blemish-prone skin.
WHAT IS TEA TREE?
Tea tree is a small plant that grows in tropical climates. The leafy plant is typically harvested for its oil which is known for its cleansing and purifying properties – hence why it’s so popular in skincare, especially for those with oily, blemish-prone skin. Not only does it help to reduce the appearance of blemishes, it works with your skin to help keep them at bay too.
What’s so special about our tea tree? We source our Community Fair Trade tea tree from a number of farms and independent farmers in rural Kenya. They steam-distil the tea tree leaves within 12 hours of harvesting to ensure our Tea Tree Oil is at its most pure and potent.
And since tea tree has natural purifying properties, the crops don’t need chemicals to fend off pests.
Our trade helps provide farmers working within our producer group with a steady income in an area where employment opportunities are low. It’s how we make sure we source the best quality ingredients while having a positive impact on people and the planet.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TEA TREE OIL FOR SKIN?
HELPS REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF BLEMISHES
Blemishes can be caused by a number of things – hormones, air quality, dehydration – and
are formed when sebum builds up inside your pores. Our Tea Tree Oil helps cleanse your pores
and helps blemishes appear smaller over time.
HELPS TO MINIMISE THE APPEARANCE OF PORES
Pores are the tiny openings in our skin that release oil and allow our skin to breathe.
Those with oilier skin types are likely to have larger pores as they are producing more
sebum. Our Tea Tree Oil helps to purify your pores and minimise their appearance for a more
refined look.
HELPS PREVENT PORES FROM FEELING CLOGGED
It can be hard finding the right products to put on blemish-prone skin, since the last
thing you want to do it clog your pores further. Thankfully, our Tea Tree Oil helps prevent
your pores from feeling clogged, leaving you with more clearer looking skin.
FEELS WEIGHTLESS ON THE SKIN
Our Tea Tree Oil is featherlight on your skin, meaning your skin is never left feeling
oily or covered in product. Instead, it’s light and so refreshing you can smell it. The only
thing you can feel is the power of our Tea Tree Oil working on your skin.
BEST ROUTINE FOR BLEMISH-PRONE AND OILY SKIN

SHOULD YOU MOISTURISE OILY OR BLEMISH-PRONE SKIN?
There are many misconceptions about how to handle oily and blemish-prone skin. And whether to moisturise is one of them.
When the skin produces excess oil, it can often feel congested, leading those with oily
skin to avoid heavy creams. The last thing you want to put on oily skin is an overly rich
lotion, right? However, one of the best ways to care for oily skin is to keep it hydrated.
After all, oily skin gets thirsty too.
Even though oily skin doesn’t feel dry, it doesn’t mean it’s not dehydrated. This is
where our new Tea Tree In-Control Hydrator comes in. Infused with Community Fair Trade tea
tree, it keeps your skin hydrated for up to 24hrs. It’s a super light hydrator which helps
to cool and purify oily and blemish-prone skin. It smooths over the skin and sinks in
straight away, helping it look less shiny, without clogging the pores.

Take a generous dollop of the mask into your hand and apply all over your face.

Rinse off in the morning
with warm water and your favourite facial wash.
