Tea Tree Blackhead Exfoliating Wash

Best if you want to: Keep your skin clear and soft with a creamy facial scrub that is specially formulated to help unclog pores by gently exfoliating to remove trapped dirt, oil and dead skin cells.

How it works:

Aromatic lemon tea tree and Community Trade tea tree oil from Kenya contain anti-bacterial properties that help fight blemishes and prevent new ones from forming.
Crushed apricot stones and silica mildly and effectively exfoliate skin.

The Body Shop® difference: When the seasons change, so can your skin — and sometimes not for the better. Our new Tea Tree range with a triple blend of natural active ingredients — Community Trade tea tree oil, lemon tea tree, and tamanu oil — work together to keep skin clear by helping to prevent blemishes and blackheads, and controlling excess oil. No matter what kind of climate you live in, using our Tea Tree range as your daily skin care regime will help combat existing blemishes, prevent future breakouts, and control oil and shine all year long.

Community Trade Information

Tea tree oil is famed for growing in Australia, but it grows just as well in Africa. The Kenya Organic Oil Farmers Co-operative Association (KOOFA) grows their certified-organic tea tree in the shadow of Mount Kenya in mineral-rich volcanic soil. The plants are irrigated with glacial water and the leaves are hand-picked for the most effective oil. The group provides 270 small-scale farmers with an environmentally-friendly alternative to producing chemical-laden snow peas. And in a country devastated by AIDS, it gives women a way to support their families.
