How does Tea Tree Oil work as an antiseptic?

Tea Tree Oil is a germicidal essential oil that has been extensively researched with results showing broad spectrum antimicrobial activity – the ability to effectively inhibit or kill micro-organisms. Tea Tree Oil achieves this by damaging the cell wall and membrane of microbes, resulting in the subsequent death of the microbe.

Microbiological testing has established the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MCI) of the Tea Tree Oil required to inhibit the growth of many types of microbes is less than or equal to 2%. BVS Health Products Tea Tree Oil products contains a concentration of 100% Tea Tree Oil.
