Aloe Vera Gel (Lite) Usage and Adding Tea Tree Oil

1. Can Aloe Vera Gel (Lite) be applied directly to the skin?
   Yes, Aloe Vera Gel (Lite) can be applied directly to the skin. While it is designed as a base for mixing other ingredients, its formulation is suitable for direct application. It provides a light, fast-absorbing, non-sticky feel and is beneficial for moisturizing and soothing the skin, especially for oily yet dehydrated skin or those who prefer oil-free textures.

2. Can Tea Tree Oil be added to Aloe Vera Gel (Lite)?
   Yes, you can add Tea Tree Oil to Aloe Vera Gel (Lite). The gel base is compatible with liquid additives. However, it is important to note that the total amount of oil added should not exceed 10% of the gel base to prevent separation. For Tea Tree Oil (Water Soluble), the recommended usage rate is typically 1-5% for the body and no more than 2% for the face. It is advisable to start with a lower concentration, such as 0.3-0.5%, as higher concentrations of Tea Tree Oil can potentially cause skin irritation.

Remember to mix liquid additives thoroughly into the gel base until a uniform consistency is achieved.
