Do I need to dilute tea tree oil?

Yes. Tea tree oil is strong and is normally mixed with a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut before going on skin. Undiluted use can sting or irritate.

What can I use it for?

Common uses are spot-treating blemishes, scalp care, nail and cuticle care, and adding a few drops to cleaning water. It is not for drinking.

Is this the same as the tea tree oil in small bottles?

It is the same kind of oil, Melaleuca alternifolia, in a larger bottle. Strength and aroma can vary between batches and brands.

How should I store it?

Keep the bottle closed, upright and away from heat and sunlight. Tea tree oil can degrade over time, so use it within its stated shelf life.

Does it come with a dropper?

The bottle is a plain 8 fl oz container. For measured drops, pour into a smaller dropper bottle.

Our take on the Sun Essential Oils 8oz - Tea Essential Oil - 8 Fluid Ounces

Sun Essential Oils sells tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) in a large 8 fl oz bottle. Tea tree oil is a topical antiseptic used on skin blemishes, minor cuts, scalp and nails, and it is usually diluted with a carrier oil before use. The big bottle suits people who use tea tree often and want one supply instead of small dropper bottles. It is a single-note oil, so it competes with other bulk tea tree oils on purity and aroma rather than on blends.
