nMelaleuca

nMELALEUCA contains melaleuca essential oil (Tea Tree Oil) encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles with an average size of 200 nm and an encapsulation efficiency greater than 98%. This nanoencapsulation allows the active ingredient to penetrate deeper into the skin and hair of animals, enhancing its effectiveness. The sustained release of tea tree oil from the nanocapsules results in longer-lasting effects and reduces the need for frequent application. The nanoencapsulation also improves the stability of the active compounds and reduces the oil’s volatility. Tea tree oil is a natural active ingredient whose main component, 4-terpineol, has strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It shows potential in the treatment of skin conditions such as localized dermatitis with itching, ear infections, and fungal infections caused by Malassezia pachydermatis. Additionally, tea tree oil has acaricidal properties, making it effective for tick control.

Usage Recommendations: External use. Shampoos, sprays, creams, gels, and lotions. Use 0.5 to 5%
