Component Spotlight: Terpinen-4-ol (40.40%)

This is the primary active compound in tea tree oil and is largely responsible for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory actions. Terpinen-4-ol is a naturally occurring terpene with a pine-like aroma and plays a central role in tea tree oil’s reputation as a natural disinfectant and skin soother.
