Product Description
Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil 100% Pure Multipurpose Liquid is a naturally sourced antiseptic that offers relief to minor cuts, burns, abrasions, pimples, bites and stings. Your first aid kit in a bottle.
For those with problem skin, we know too well, how fighting against inflamed and angry spots is a constant battle and every morning, looking at yourself in the mirror, you wonder if anyone will make fun of your red skin.
For those with the occasional blemishes, they always seem to appear right when they are really unwanted, before an important date or before an important event and you can only curse and swear at the damned blemish while looking at yourself in the mirror.
Most of us would do anything to clear up the culprit immediately as having smooth and glowing skin can be incredible confidence-boosting. Like squeezing the pimple or applying toothpaste on the zit to dry it up. But noooo, don't do that. You will only make it worse.
I attended a skincare seminar sometime back and received a 10ml tea tree oil as a complimentary gift.
Made in Australia, this is my first product from the brand which is formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes and phthalates.
I welcome naturally-derived ingredients any time as I believe they can be just as effective, and they are not as harsh to your skin and body too. Plant based ingredients harness the power of nature to nourish our skin by calming and hydrating the skin.
Tea tree oil has proven antiseptic, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties hence I use this bottle as a spot treatment mainly for zits and it has worked pretty well. You only need a tiny drop so a 10ml sized bottle lasts more than a year for me.
The scent is soothing but the application is minty and cooling, with an occasional sting but no redness or peeling. I usually use this in the night and zits with pus healed faster by the following morning and is almost subsided by the 2nd night.
I was tempted to get the blemish gel until I saw alcohol listed in it, hence I decided to stick back to this product since it does not cause the skin around my zits to peel, as compared to most of the zit-zappers out there which can be a tad too drying. However, several applications throughout the day may cause the skin to peel slightly.
Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil 100% Pure Multipurpose Liquid contains Melaleuca Alternifolia ( Tea Tree ) Leaf Oil as its only ingredient so it is 100% concentrated and because I am worried of the side-effects due to incorrect application, I have written in to Thursday Plantation for advice on zits and dandruff.
Here's what Donna Bucklin, a Naturopathic Technical Advisor wrote :
" Tea tree oil is one of a few essential oils that can be applied undiluted and directly onto the skin. I would recommend if you were to do this that you perform a patch test by placing a small quantity on your leg or foot and waiting 24-48hours to see if you have any allergic response. The vast majority of people are not allergic to tea tree oil. Also, it is non-toxic and quite safe when applied to the skin and it is only toxic if you ingested it or drank it.
Acne Treatment
· You can apply the tea tree oil undiluted directly onto the pimples. Apply after cleansing and dab on with cotton bud/pad.
· You can dilute the tea tree oil and apply it to the pimples. A dilution of around 5-10% would be ideal. For example, 100mL of water or a carrier liquid such as witch hazel lotion and add 10mL of tea tree oil. Shake prior to using and dab onto pimples with cotton pad.
Dandruff Treatment
· Add tea tree oil to your shampoo. Dilute to about 2%. For example, if you have 100mL of shampoo then you would need to add 2mL of tea tree oil.
· Prior to washing your hair you can make up a combination of a carrier oil and tea tree oil. A good carrier oil for dandruff is jojoba oil. Mix 10mL of Jojoba oil with 20 drops of tea tree oil. Apply this to the scalp and massage in. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and wash hair as normal. "
