The story

Treemendus is the tea tree-specialist sister brand to SOiL Organic Aromatherapy, born on the same McMurray family farm in Zululand, KwaZulu-Natal. The tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is cultivated, harvested, and distilled on-farm under the same ECOCERT organic certification that covers SOiL, and the resulting essential oil becomes the active heart of a tight five-product body and hair care range.

Where SOiL is the full essential oil library, Treemendus is the single-botanical specialist. One certified organic tea tree, distilled to a quality therapeutic profile, used as the functional active in hand wash, body wash, body lotion, shampoo, and a hand sanitiser. The pitch is honest: most 'tea tree' body products on the SA shelf use synthetic tea tree fragrance or trace-level dilutions of imported oil. Treemendus uses real, farm-distilled, certified organic tea tree at functional levels, in body care that smells the way the plant actually smells.
We grow the tea tree we put in every bottle. Same farm, same family, same standard as the SOiL range.

What makes them different

  • 01

    Farm-Distilled Tea Tree

    Every Treemendus product is built around tea tree essential oil grown and distilled on the McMurray farm in KwaZulu-Natal. Not imported, not synthetic, not a trace addition for marketing purposes.

  • 02

    ECOCERT Organic

    The tea tree cultivation and oil are certified organic by ECOCERT. Audited annually, with traceability from the field to the finished body care.

  • 03

    Functional Concentration

    Tea tree is used at concentrations that actually do something on skin and scalp: cleansing, balancing oily and acne-prone areas, supporting scalp health. Not a fragrance-level sprinkle.

  • 04

    Clean Formulation

    Free of parabens, petrochemicals, SLS, and the harsher surfactants found in mass-market body care. Designed for daily use on sensitive and reactive skin.

Touring the range

Three doorways into the brand: entry, classic, specialty.

START HERE

The 10ml tea tree oil

If you have never used tea tree, the 10ml essential oil is the single most versatile starter. Diluted in a carrier oil for skin, added to shampoo for scalp, dabbed neat on a blemish, or diffused for an air-cleansing scent.

Once you know you reach for tea tree daily (acne-prone skin, scalp regimen, household cleaning), the 25ml is the cost-effective upgrade. Same oil, larger bottle, longer shelf life unopened.

About this brand

Common questions customers ask about the brand and its products.

What is tea tree oil actually good for?
Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is one of the most-studied essential oils for skin. Used topically (diluted), it supports the management of mild acne and blemishes, fungal skin issues, scalp itch and dandruff, and minor cuts. The active terpenes are also why it has the distinctive medicinal scent. The Cochrane reviews on tea tree for acne and tinea are cautiously positive: effective, well tolerated by most, slower than prescription options.
Can I apply tea tree neat on skin?
Lavender and tea tree are two of the few essential oils that tolerate occasional neat application on small areas (a single blemish, a bite). For broader areas, dilute to 2 to 5 percent in a carrier oil to avoid irritation. Patch test first; tea tree is well tolerated by most people but can trigger contact dermatitis in a minority.
Is Treemendus safe for kids?
Treemendus body wash, shampoo, and lotion are formulated for whole-family daily use. Pure tea tree essential oil should be diluted before application on children's skin and avoided on faces. Not recommended for children under 2 in essential oil form without paediatric guidance.
How does Treemendus relate to SOiL?
Treemendus is SOiL's sister brand. Same McMurray family, same Zululand farm, same ECOCERT certification framework. SOiL covers the full essential oil and skincare library; Treemendus is the tea tree specialist that turns the farm's tea tree oil into a complete body and hair care line.
Will tea tree help my dandruff?
Often yes. Adding 5 to 10 drops of pure tea tree to a 250ml bottle of shampoo (or using the Treemendus tea tree shampoo) supports scalp balance for many users with mild dandruff. For seborrhoeic dermatitis or stubborn cases, pair with a clinical antifungal shampoo and see a dermatologist.
How should I store tea tree oil?
Cool, dark, tightly capped. The amber glass bottle is deliberate; UV light degrades the terpenes that give tea tree its activity. Treated well, the oil is good for 2 to 3 years from opening.
