Detailed explanation of Australian tea tree (I)-the most natural bacteriostatic agent

When it comes to Australian tea trees, I think people will immediately think of many beauty and skin care products.

As one of the three ancestral herbal ingredients (lavender, aloe and tea tree), tea tree ingredients have become common ingredients of various brands. Tea tree skin care products also occupy a place in Tai O's essential oil skin care series.

This is because, as a natural bacteriostatic agent, tea tree essential oil has superior biological functions and plays an important role in many skin care products.

Let's talk about tea trees in detail today ~ ~

Australian tea tree essential oil

Unlike China tea tree or camellia oleifera, Australian tea tree is actually a Myrtaceae plant native to subtropical Australia.

Traditionally, it has been used by Australian aborigines as a folk medicine to treat various wounds and skin diseases.

After modern science and technology discovered the powerful anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect of Australian tea tree, its extracted components, especially the tea tree essential oil extracted from fresh branches and leaves, were widely used in daily hygiene products, skin health care products, cosmetics, food spices, medicines, organic biological pesticides and many other fields.

Australian tea trees are difficult to reproduce, and generally only suitable for growing in hot and humid subtropical areas. The weather in Guangzhou is hot and humid, which is a very suitable growing environment.

Ordinary cuttage planting is easy to change the characteristics of tea trees. The Australian tea tree base adopts tissue culture seedling planting technology to ensure the excellent characteristics of Australian tea trees.

Professional extraction of tea tree essential oil

After the tea tree is harvested, it needs to be extracted through the extraction process. The branches and leaves of Australian tea tree were selected, and the crushed tea tree branches and leaves were mixed with steam by steam distillation, and the volatile oil was distilled by steam and concentrated.

The method does not contain any chemical additives, and after primary extraction, secondary extraction, vacuum distillation and other ways, the tea tree essential oil with high purity and low water content is finally obtained.

Efficacy of tea tree essential oil

Australian tea tree essential oil is one of the few essential oils that can be directly used on the skin, and its powerful anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects make it more and more used.

In these aspects, tea tree essential oil can play a role.

Remove acne

5% benzoyl peroxide is a very traditional treatment for acne, but it is not always effective for everyone.

On the one hand, it is easy to cause side effects such as erythema, itching and dryness. On the other hand, because many traditional acne treatments use antibiotics, antibiotic resistance has become a big problem.

A British research report said that more than one out of every two acne patients treated with antibiotics carries drug-resistant strains of two different bacteria commonly found on the skin.

The diluted tea tree essential oil is similar to 5% benzoyl peroxide, which can control the symptoms of acne and has fewer side effects.

Because of the complex composition and multiple antibacterial mechanisms of tea tree essential oil, the possibility of drug resistance of tea tree essential oil is low, which is more suitable for long-term use.

bacteriostat

Australian tea tree essential oil has the characteristics of broad antibacterial spectrum (a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses) and strong antibacterial activity.

It has strong antibacterial and bactericidal effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Propionibacterium and Candida albicans.

This makes tea tree essential oil have miraculous effects in oral care, body care and many other aspects.

Scalp nursing

Australian tea tree oil also has a certain effect on mild dandruff, scalp itching, scalp greasy and other symptoms. And the incidence of adverse reactions (such as mild scalp fever, tingling and itching) after using tea tree oil is very low.

Body care

Tea tree essential oil has the functions of natural hemostasis, good permeability, anti-inflammatory and soothing. Apply 1-2 drops of tea tree essential oil to the affected area, the wound can heal quickly and prevent bacteria from reinfecting.

Tea tree essential oil can treat seborrheic dermatitis. It is recommended to wash it with a shower gel containing tea tree essential oil, and then apply the tea tree essential oil to the affected area and massage gently, because the antibacterial and soothing effects and natural permeability of tea tree essential oil can relieve redness, swelling and itching.
