Key actives
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil
Tea Tree Leaf Oil is an essential oil from an Australian shrub, carrying terpinen-4-ol. Korean formulas use it in products aimed at blemish-prone skin; it is potent, aromatic, and one of the essential oils most likely to bother reactive skin.
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract
Tea Tree Leaf Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is far milder and much less aromatic. It is used in formulas for blemish-prone skin.
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water
Tea Tree Leaf Water is the distillate, used in place of plain water as a base. It carries a trace of the plant's aroma and none of the essential oil's strength.
Myristic Acid
Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.
Lauric Acid
Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels.
Beeswax
Beeswax is the wax bees build comb from. In a formula it thickens the oil phase and forms a breathable, water-resisting film, which is what makes a balm hold its shape.
How to use
- Apply to cleansed skin as directed and follow with the next step of a routine.
What does Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil do in this skincare formula?
Tea Tree Leaf Oil sits in the middle of the ingredient list, the ingredient behind Mediheal's tea-tree line and a long-standing Korean choice for oil-prone, blemish-prone skin.
Is Artemisia Vulgaris Oil also in this formula?
Artemisia Vulgaris Oil, the mugwort behind I'm From's signature line, sits further down the ingredient list, valued in Korean formulas for its calming role. It sits alongside Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil on MEDIHEAL's ingredient list for this product.

How it works
The panel on this cleanser names three forms of tea tree rather than one: Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water. Tea Tree Leaf Oil is an essential oil from an Australian shrub, carrying terpinen-4-ol. Korean formulas use it in products aimed at blemish-prone skin; it is potent, aromatic, and one of the essential oils most likely to bother reactive skin. On this panel it sits alongside Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid and Beeswax. Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

Alok Vij, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic I think it's fair to say I've seen lots of patients use tea tree oil for a variety of skin issues. It's a natural remedy that is known to help.
