Tea tree oil is a natural product extracted from the leaves of the tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) . It is a significant ingredient in many beauty products and is used in a wide range of cosmetic and industrial applications. Tea tree oil is believed to have antibacterial properties and can kill bacteria, fungus, and mites, and reduce allergic skin reactions by decreasing swelling. People use tea tree oil for acne, toenail fungus, athletes foot, dandruff, lice, bad breath, and other conditions. However, there is no good scientific evidence to support its other uses.
The price of tea tree oil in Pakistan from Khalis Things is Rs 1499 for a 30ml bottle. Other brands of tea tree oil are also available on Amazon.com, such as Gya Labs Australian Tea Tree Oil for Skin, Hair, Face & Toenails, which costs USD $9.99 for a 0.34 fl oz bottle.

It is important to note that tea tree oil should be used with caution when applying topically to the skin, as it may cause skin irritation and swelling. In people with acne, it can sometimes cause skin dryness, itching, stinging, burning, and redness. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also be cautious when using tea tree oil.
