- Is this oil ready to put on skin?
- No. It is undiluted tea tree oil. Mix a few drops into a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil before applying, and patch test first.
- What does it smell like?
- Earthy, warm and spicy, the typical medicinal tea tree scent. It is strong and can linger in a room.
- How should I store it?
- Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place. The amber glass helps, but heat and sunlight degrade the oil.
- Can I use it in a diffuser?
- Yes, though the smell is intense. Blend it with milder oils like lavender or lemon rather than diffusing it alone.
- Is it the same as tea tree oil?
- Yes. Melaleuca alternifolia is the botanical name for tea tree, so this is tea tree oil.
- Does it come with a dropper?
- No. Plan on a separate glass dropper or a reducer cap for measuring drops.
