Moolihai Pure Tea Tree Essential Oil

Tea tree oil is potent and should be diluted for most people. Mix 1–2 drops with a teaspoon of carrier oil (jojoba is ideal for acne-prone skin) or aloe vera gel, then apply with a cotton swab. Some people with non-sensitive skin tolerate a single undiluted drop on an individual pimple as a spot treatment, but always patch test first. If you experience redness, stinging, or dryness, dilute further.

The simplest method: add 5–10 drops per 100ml of your regular shampoo and shake well. When washing, massage into the scalp and leave for 2–3 minutes before rinsing. Use consistently — a clinical study showed significant dandruff reduction after 4 weeks of daily use. You can also make a pre-wash scalp treatment by mixing 5 drops with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and massaging into the scalp 30 minutes before washing.

Tea tree oil has demonstrated antifungal effectiveness against nail fungus in clinical studies. Apply 1 drop mixed with a drop of carrier oil directly to the affected nail and surrounding skin twice daily. Clean and dry the area first. Be patient — nail fungus treatment takes time since nails grow slowly. Expect to use it consistently for 3–6 months to see full results. For severe infections, consult a dermatologist.

Tea tree oil can irritate sensitive skin when used undiluted or in high concentrations. Always start with a lower dilution (1 drop per teaspoon of carrier oil) and do a patch test on your inner forearm. Wait 24 hours. If no irritation occurs, you can gradually increase concentration. For very sensitive skin, adding tea tree oil to your moisturiser or face wash gives you the benefits with less direct exposure.

The 30ml bottle contains approximately 600 drops. For acne spot treatment (1–2 drops daily), it lasts 10–12 months. For adding to shampoo or making DIY cleaning sprays, the 120ml bottle gives you approximately 2,400 drops — enough for several months of combined skincare and household use.
