Tea tree

Tea Tree Essential Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) is a natural, high-monoterpene alcohol essential oil ("terp") used in professional henna mixing to unlock maximum stain depth and create a smooth, aromatic paste.

​Key Benefits in Henna

​Darker, Richer Stains: Tea tree oil is rich in terpineol, a natural solvent that aids in dissolving lawsone (the natural dye molecule in henna). This accelerates dye release and yields deep mahogany to dark espresso stains.

​Natural Antimicrobial: Its antibacterial and antifungal properties help preserve raw henna paste, extending its shelf life and keeping prepared cones fresh longer.

​Soothing Application: Provides a mild cooling sensation on the skin during application while reducing skin irritation.

​Distinctive Aroma: Imparts a clean, herbal, and invigorating scent that masks the strong, earthiness of raw henna leaves.

​How to Use

​Ideal Ratio: Use 30 ml of essential oil per 100 grams of pure henna powder.

​Mixing Step: Add the tea tree oil directly into your henna powder along with water or liquid before letting the paste rest for dye release.

​Safety & Skin Sensitivity: Always use 100% pure, unadulterated essential oil. Perform a quick patch test for sensitive skin before full application.
