I just saw these articles:

which basically claim these oils act as anti-androgens and can cause breast development, albeit in pre-pubescent boys. Although I did see this post:

I used tea tree oil shampoo for 3yrs DAIL
Y and had breast growth. Saw this study and quit. 9mos later breast has gone down...libido is still low"
I have been using Trader Joe's Tea Tree Oil Shampoo & Conditioner for a little while. Since there seem to be many here that use tea tree, I'd like some objectivity on this issue, thanks!
Also, what kinds of other oils might cause this if it's a problem? I use OraMD for toothpaste which contains pure botanical oils of almond, peppermint, and spearmint. I was thinking of switching to Dr. Bronner's castile soap for shampoo if the tea tree is a problem, but that has a lot of oils in it too.
