Zeva Tea Tree Pure Organic Essential Oil, Medicinal Grade Treatment for Acne, Psoriasis, Infection. House Molds or Mildew, 10ML

The aboriginal people of Australia have long used Tea tree Oil. Historically, the leaves were used as a substitute for tea, which is how it got its name. The Tea Tree is a small tree or shrub with needle-like leaves. It can grow up to 7 meters (20 feet) in height. Our Tea Tree is only to be used for therapeutic applications but it is one of the rare varieties that can be applied directly to the skin if using only a few drops.

Common Uses:

• Apply Tea Tree oil to help prevent and treat acne without try common dry or peeling skin effects from other acne treatment products.
• Tea tree oil has the ability to soothe dry flaking skin, remove dandruff and even can be used for the treatment of lice.
• Tea tree oil have powerful antimicrobial properties and can kill off bad bacteria in your home.
• Use Tea Tree oil to prevent and treat most common skincare problems naturally and organically.

Application:

• Aromatically: Diffuse tea tree oil throughout your home using an oil diffuser. You can also directly inhale the oil by sniffing it right out of the bottle or applying some to your skin and clothes and smelling it that way, similar to a perfume.
• Topically: You should always dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut oil in a 1:1 ratio before applying it directly to skin. Similarly to tea tree, coconut oil also has its own long list of benefits for skin and immunity, so these two together make an even better combination.
• NOT for Internal Use: According to the National Poison Center, tea tree oil is known to be poisonous if swallowed. Tea tree oil should NOT be taken by mouth for any reason, even though some traditional uses include tea tree oil as a mouthwash, treatment for bad breath, and treatment of toothache and mouth ulcers. If using tea tree in your mouth, spit out the oil afterwards to prevent potential side effects like digestive issues, hives or dizziness.

ISO QUALITY

The ISO created quality standards for essential oils under theTC-54 Guidelines. One of these quality guidelines is to use Gas Chromatography to test for the active phytochemical content of each oil and if it does not meet these minimum amounts, the oil is not considered of value. Most essential oils companies do not even consult these guidelines when purchasing their oils, thus they cannot be of any theraputic value even though they may use that term as a marketing strategy. If an oil is not ISO certified, then do not buy it.

MEDICINAL OIL ASSOCIATION

The Medicinal Oil Association (MOA) was founded to be an independent quality control regulating body for the essential oil industry. It was founded by Dr Jed Adamson ND and Dr Tracy Gibbs PhD. The popularity of and wide spread use of essential oils is similar to the growth of the dietary supplement industry in the early 1990’s but today, just as then, there is no regulatory body to determine safety, purity or misuse of essential oils.

The need to establish quality control is evident by the fact that some companies create there own made up quality terms such as “Therapeutic grade” or “CPTG” or other false names that give the consumer a false sense of security.

France and the ISO have been successful at adopting strict quality control standards for essential oils yet other countries have not adopted these standards. The MOA has adopted these standards and intends to be a regulating body in the USA and other countries to increase awareness of what a high quality essential oil should be.

AFNOR standards were established by The Association for French Normalization Organization Regulation for the French essential oil industry. The program was so successful that the International Standards Organization (ISO) adopted the AFNOR standards for essential oils and provides a list of these ISO standards and guidance for essential oils on their web site. Surprisingly enough, no USA Company or organization has adopted these standards to date and all continue to make silly claims to try to prove quality without any regulatory body supporting their claims.

To date, there has been no company or organization that certifies essential oils. The MOA was established to fill this need. Companies who wish to have an independent organization test the quality of their oils for ISO compliance can contact the MOA to conduct independent testing and certification. Companies who pass these tests can then proudly state that their essential oil is of ISO quality and therefore is a true “Medicinal Grade” oil. Ethical companies will use this standard in their marketing literature. Oils produced only for fragrance need not apply.

This is a very valuable certification program for oil producers and consumers because currently no organization regulates whether a company is meeting ISO standards!

The MOA will conduct various tests on each batch of oil. These tests will include Gas Chromatography having a column length 50 or 60 meters in order to accurately determine the oil constituents according to their certification process. This is not the only method that will be used due to the fact that creative chemical engineers can sneak synthetic ingredients into oils that GC equipment alone cannot pick up. However, using other methods, we will be able to determine whether or not an oil has been adulterated.

As an example of what a final anaylisis may look like for an ISO “Medicinal Grade” oil, let’s look at the active chemical components of a high quality Lavender ()

Lavender Essential Oil Constituent (Minimum-Maximum Percentage)

• Linalol (25-38 %)
• Linalyl acetate (25-45 %)
• Cis-beta-ocimene (25-38 %)
• Trans-beta-ocimene (4-10 %)
• Terpinen-4-ol (1.5-6 %)
• Lavendulyl acetate (0-2%)
• Lavendulol (0-0.3 %)
• Beta-phellandrene (traces-0.5%)
• Alpha-terpineol (0-1%)
• Octanone-3 (traces-1%)
• Camphor (traces-0.5%)
• Limonene (0-0.5%)
• 1,8 cineole (0-1%)

So you can see from this profile that the maximum amount of Camphor we will allow is 0.5%! A synthetic extract of Lavender called Lavandin contains 5-11% camphor and therefore may not be supportive of certain skin applications because of the camphor level. A truly pure lavender is excellent for the skin so if an oil matched the above phytochemical criteria, it can be called “Medicinal Grade”!

Companies that do not analyze their oils and adulterate their oils are not only being deceptive but irresponsible. After all, synthetic compounds in oils such as synthetic linalyl acetate and propylene glycol are harmful to the body and place the consumer at risk. Please do not support these companies! If your company does not display the MOA logo on its website, label or brochure, do not trust it and do not support these companies.
