For external and aromatic use only. Do not ingest. Never apply undiluted Tea Tree Essential Oil directly to the skin.

Always dilute appropriately and perform a patch test before first use. Tea Tree Oil may cause irritation, dryness or allergic sensitisation, particularly when used undiluted, at excessive concentrations or after oxidation.

Avoid contact with the eyes, face, inner ears, nostrils, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Do not apply to broken, inflamed, freshly shaved or highly sensitive skin. Discontinue use if redness, burning, itching, dryness or discomfort occurs.

Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not apply Tea Tree Oil directly to animals or add it to pet-care products unless directed by a qualified veterinary professional.

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, while taking medication or if you have asthma, allergies, sensitive skin or another medical condition.

Use diffusers intermittently in a spacious, well-ventilated room. Allow children and pets to move away from the aromatic area.

Tea Tree Oil can oxidise after prolonged exposure to air, heat and sunlight, increasing the possibility of skin sensitivity. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place away from heat, sparks and open flames. Discard the oil if its aroma or appearance changes noticeably.
