What kind of tea tree oil product is best? Trader Joe’s has a pure tea tree oil by desert essence but it sort of scared me b/c it says “don’t apply directly to face”. It seems too potent. I’m not sure if you are supposed to add water or if putting a small amount on a cotton ball would be considered “not directly to the face”. Can anyone recommend a good one and where to buy it?
I bought a “blemish touch stick” (by desert essence as well) for my acne but it says it is for insect bites and skin irritations as well. It has tee trea oil but it also has 9 other natural extracts and essential oils like rosmary, lavender, chamomile, and calendula. Should the tea tree oil not have any other oil or extract mixed with it? (it also comes out of a roller, like old- school lip-gloss, which seems like it might be bad for bacteria reasons, but I don’t know).
Also, my aloe is from walgreens and while it is clear,alcohol and fragrance free, I noticed it has some other ingredients and is not 100% aloe. Is that ok or should I invest in 100% aloe?
Lastly, what kind of castille soap is best? The stuff at trader joes says “castille all-in-one” and I think it has hemp in it.I read here to get glycerin, castille or dial. I want to go shopping for the necessary items to be prepared.
