Using tea tree oil soap is a great way to fight germs and clean your skin at the same time.

What I like about tea tree oil is that you can use it in a variety of different products, such as body washes and soaps.

Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial and it really helps control skin bacteria and removes excess sebum responsible for acne.

In fact, studies have found tea tree oil is effective against acne and causes less side effects than prescription-based acne medications. You can use this natural oil as a preventative step to controlling acne if it's caused by excess skin bacteria.

Tea tree oil soaps provide additional germ fighting powers to regular soap and may help reduce acne on your back and other body parts.

Choosing the Right Tea Tree Oil Soap

Just like other tea tree oil products, such as tea tree oil shampoo, it may be hard to determine exactly how much tea tee oil you're getting in your soap.

The best way is to look at the ingredient list. If your soap lists tea tree oil higher in the ingredient list, this may tell you that there are higher amounts of this healthy oil in it.

Unfortunately, most of the big corporate soap manufacturers don't list the ingredients in their soaps. However, you will find some natural product manufacturers do list their ingredients and this may be especially helpful if you have skin allergies or sensitive skin.

Some of the best tea tree soaps are soap-free cleansers. If you have sensitive skin, look for soaps that are free of foaming agents (sodium lauryl sulfate) and have a skin-friendly pH. This will ensure you get a nice deep clean without exposing your delicate skin to harsh detergents and man-made chemicals.

Some of the reputable natural skin care companies offer some excellent soaps containing tea tree oil.

One brand you might be interested in is Dr. Bronners Tea Tree Oil Soaps.

These are 100% organic soaps, certified organic by the National Organic Standards Program and packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.

Dr. Bonners soaps provide a blend of healthy oils, including organic tea tree oil, coconut & olive oils, organic hemp oil, organic jojoba oil & vitamin E.

You may be able to get Dr. Bonners at your local health food store or organic store. If not, I've provided a link to your right where you can pick it up at Amazon.com at an affordable price.

Of course, there are other brands available by reputable natural health companies. You can even get home-made tea tree soaps at your local flea market, health fairs and even on eBay.
