I brought some pure tea tree oil, what can i mix it with to go on my skin???!


Question: Pure tea tree oil does not mix well with water. To make a mixture in which tea tree oil will be evenly dispersed use one of the following methods.

Mix #1. Add 2 Tbs of tea tree oil to 1 Tbs. Everclear or vodka. Shake Well!

Caution: This mix is for external use only such as for burns, cuts & athletes foot.

Mix # 2. Add 1 ounce pure tea tree oil to 2 ounces vegetable glycerin. Shake Well. Add 1 ounce water. Shake well again.

This mixture can be used safely as a topical application for the feet, as an after shave or as a oral application (douche & Mouthwash).

Oil Solutions

To dilute tea tree oil in a carrier oil such as olive, apricot, almond or avocado oil add 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) full-strength tea tree oil to 4 ounces (1/2 cups) or more of the carrier oil, depending on the oil's purpose and your personal preference.

One ounce of tea tree oil in 4 ounces carrier oil produces a 20% concentration of tea tree oil.

To treat a fungus condition like athlete's foot, this is probably the concentration you will want to try first. For all purpose massage oil with mild antiseptic properties use a larger quantity of carrier oil.

Almond oil is the best base oil I've found. I got it in the local health shop. It makes your skin silky smooth too!!

I use rosehip seed oil with tea tree oil. If you are using it for blemishes rosehip seed oil is great for softening the skin to prevent scarring.

Olive oil

Maybe some Vaseline lotion hun.......

almond oil

Any carrier oil from a health food shop.
