Do I need to dilute it before putting it on skin?

Yes. Tea tree oil is potent and should be mixed with a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil before skin use. Undiluted application can sting and irritate.

What can I use it for around the house?

Common uses are spot-treating blemishes, adding drops to laundry or linen sprays, wiping surfaces and diffusing. It is not for internal use.

Does it come with a dropper?

Yes, the amber glass bottle has a built-in dropper so you can add drops one at a time.

How should I store it?

Keep it in the amber bottle, away from sunlight and heat, with the cap tight. Light and air degrade tea tree oil over time.

Tea tree oil is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested or applied in strong concentrations. Keep it out of reach and avoid diffusing heavily around pets.

Is this the same as tea tree oil from a pharmacy?

It is the same oil, Melaleuca alternifolia, in a larger bottle. Strength and aroma can differ between brands and batches, so test a small amount first.
