Description
4-Terpineol is one of the main active components of tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia). It is used in cosmetic products due to its powerful antiseptic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It effectively fights against bacteria and fungi and helps reduce skin inflammation, especially in cases of acne. It is often included in products for problem skin, anti-dandruff shampoos, deodorants, and aftershave products. It can also mask unpleasant odors and improve the overall scent of the product.
