Saefty of tea tree oil


Is tea tree oil safe?

There are many reports that tea tree oil when applied on the skin can cause allergic reactions. Some people may develop a mild dermatitis but others can develop a severe blistering and painful rash. People with allergy to any components of tea tree oil or related plants like balsam of Peru should not use tea tree oil. Since tea tree oil has not been thoroughly investigated, pregnant women or those who are breast-feeding should refrain from using this product. Tea tree oil should not be applied on the breast or nipples as it can be absorbed by the breast-feeding infant.
