What it is — Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract (INCI: Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract), also known as tea tree leaf extract, is a soothing, skin-conditioning ingredient.

What it does — It is commonly used as a tea tree leaf extract included to help soothe and comfort the skin and scalp.

Typical use — It is common in calming toners, essences, serums, masks, moisturizers and scalp treatments aimed at a comfortable, conditioned feel. It is a common choice in 'calming' or 'cica'-style routines built around comfort.
