Tea Tree Oil Properties, Usage, and Availability
Question
I am looking for Tea Tree Oil and would like to know if the 100% pure Tea Tree Oil available here is similar to the Holista 100% pure Tea Tree Oil I used in Canada, which was a clear, slightly oily liquid that gave a cooling sensation. Also, is it safe to apply 100% pure Tea Tree Oil directly to the entire face, or should it only be used for spot treatment or diluted in formulations like shampoo or liquid soap?
Answer
# Tea Tree Oil Inquiry
Regarding your question about Tea Tree Oil and whether the product available here is similar to the Holista 100% pure Tea Tree Oil you used in Canada:
Based on your description, pure Tea Tree Oil typically has a clear, slightly oily texture and provides a cooling or tingling sensation when applied to the skin. This aligns with your experience.
Regarding usage, as the staff member correctly advised, applying pure Tea Tree Oil directly to the entire face is generally not recommended due to its potency, which can cause skin irritation. It is better suited for targeted application, such as spot treating blemishes, or for use as an ingredient when diluted in formulations like shampoos, liquid soaps, or other cosmetic products at appropriate concentrations.
We searched our database for "Tea Tree Oil pure 100%" but were unable to find that specific product. Therefore, we cannot confirm if a directly equivalent product from Holista is available.
If you are looking for Tea Tree Oil for formulation purposes or spot treatment, we may have other options available, but the exact Holista product you mentioned was not found in our search results.
