Tea Tree Hydrosol

Tea Tree Hydrosol
Tea Tree Hydrosol is the aromatic water produced during the steam distillation of Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) essential oil. Unlike its concentrated oil counterpart, this hydrosol offers a milder, water-based alternative that’s safe for sensitive skin and daily use—without the risk of irritation or sensitization.
