The Best Tea Tree Oil-Infused Products in the Philippines

One of the more popular natural ingredients in skincare is tea tree oil — and for good reason. It’s great for so many things!

It’s mostly known for its power to help keep pimples at bay. But it’s also great as an antibacterial and anti-fungal remedy. And you can use it for the scalp and other parts of your body too.

How do you know if tea tree oil is pure?

The easiest way to know if the product is pure is by checking the company’s claim. If you’re buying a product that’s been approved by regulatory boards (in the case here in the Philippines, it should be the FDA), you should have no problems seeing these claims on the products.

Can you put tea tree oil directly on your skin?

Now, you may have found a product that’s 100% pure. Does that mean it’s the best thing to use for your skin and should you put it on your skin directly? The answer is no.

Tea tree oil is an essential oil. It’s super potent and can pose harm on your skin when applied directly. Natural ingredients also tend to be more allergenic than other types of ingredients.

So before you try to experience the goodness of this oil, make sure you have a carrier oil to mix it with. In a way, carrier oils ‘temper’ essential oils and make them easier and safer for the skin. Some examples of carrier oils are coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, and grapeseed oil.

When it comes to mixing essential oils with carrier oils, remember that a little goes a long way. You need just a few drops to actually reap all of its benefits.

The easiest way to enjoy the goodness of tea tree oil, though, is by using products already infused with it — no need to research and measure (unless you want to play chemist, of course).
