HOW TEA TREE OIL CAN ENHANCE YOUR OCULAR HYGIENE ROUTINE

The Tea Tree extract helps keep the lashes free from Demodex mites which can cause irritation that clients normally blame on the lash adhesive. The formulation is also designed to strip all oil off the lashes leaving a clean surface to which the extensions may be bonded. The only drawback with the tea tree formulation is that it does sting a bit when you get it in the eye and also does dry the skin around the eyes and a moisturiser should be applied nightly as part of the cleansing routine.

What Is Tea Tree Oil?

Tea tree oil is not oil as we in the cosmetic industry know oil. It is an extract and falls under the category of Essential Oils. These ‘oils’ are water-soluble and don’t float on top of the water.

Tea tree oil is natural oil that is derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca Alternifolia tree

Tea tree oil contains nearly 100 different components and it is believed to have anti-inflammatory, anti-protozoal, and anti-bacterial properties. TTO is a safe and effective ingredient. Its natural skin-sanitizing benefits cleanse away dirt, bacteria, and toxins, leaving the skin feeling healthier and more hydrated.

We offer an alternate formulation is our Gentle Lash shampoo that contains no tea tree but still removes oil from the lashes.

The shelf life is one year and it must be used within 3 months, once opened
