Trader Joe's SPA Tea Tree Oil Face Wash is a plant-powered facial cleanser built on a coconut oil-derived Castile soap base, formulated with eco-harvest Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia), Glycerin, Chamomile Extract, Goldenseal Root Extract, Calendula Extract, and a multi-botanical essential oil blend. Designed for daily use on oily, combination, blemish-prone, and sensitive skin, this 8.5 fl oz (251mL) cleanser removes impurities and excess oil without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Active Ingredients and Skin Care Benefits

• Eco-Harvest Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) — Sustainably sourced Tea Tree Oil with clinically recognized antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Naturally controls excess sebum, helps clear clogged pores, and calms blemish-prone skin without the harshness of synthetic acne-fighting chemicals.
• Coconut Oil Castile Soap Base — A pure, plant-derived soap made from saponified coconut oil; provides effective yet gentle cleansing action that lifts dirt, oil, and impurities without disrupting the skin's natural pH or lipid barrier.
• Glycerin — A humectant that draws moisture into the skin during cleansing, preventing the post-wash tightness and dryness commonly associated with soap-based cleansers.
• Chamomile Extract (Matricaria Chamomilla) — Contains apigenin and bisabolol, anti-inflammatory compounds that soothe redness, calm irritated skin, and reduce sensitivity triggered by cleansing.
• Goldenseal Root Extract (Hydrastis Canadensis) — A traditional botanical with natural antimicrobial properties (berberine) that supports pore clarity and helps control surface bacteria associated with blemishes.
• Calendula Extract (Calendula Officinalis) — Rich in flavonoids and triterpenoids; promotes skin healing, reduces inflammation, and soothes sensitive or reactive skin post-cleansing.
• Awapuhi (Hawaiian Ginger) Extract — A traditional Hawaiian botanical that conditions skin, adds a silky post-wash feel, and provides mild antioxidant protection.
• Essential Oil Blend (Lavender, Palmarosa, Bitter Orange Peel, Blue Cypress) — A curated aromatic blend that refreshes dull complexion, provides additional antimicrobial support, and delivers a calming spa-like sensory experience during cleansing.
