Understanding Acne-Prone Skin
Acne-prone skin isn’t just about surface oil. It’s a mix of excess sebum, clogged pores, and inflammation. Many people reach for harsh cleansers, only to find their skin responds with even more oil and irritation.
A gentler approach works best: calming inflammation while supporting your skin’s natural balance.
What Is Tea Tree Oil?
Tea tree oil is a natural essential oil derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant. Known for centuries for its clarifying and soothing properties, it has become a staple for those seeking a clean, effective solution to acne-prone skin.

Watch the soapmaking process in this video and see how small-batch crafting ensures the highest quality. Each batch cures for six weeks, so once they’re gone, you’ll wait for the next round!
