nMelaleuca

nMelaleuca is tea tree essential oil encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles with an average size of 200 nm. The nanoencapsulation of essential oil also enhances the stability of active compounds, reduces oil volatility, and allows for prolonged release and increased skin penetration of the active ingredient. Tea tree essential oil is a natural active ingredient, and its main constituent (4-terpineol) exhibits strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity, acting against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and accelerates the healing process. In the veterinary field, several studies have demonstrated the potential application of tea tree essential oil in the treatment of skin conditions such as localized pruritic dermatitis, ear infections, and fungal infections caused by Malassezia pachydermatis.

Usage recommendations: External veterinary use. Shampoos, sprays, emulsions, gels, lotions, and wet wipes (0.5 – 5%). Antiseptics (7%).
