Edens Garden Tea Tree Essential Pure Therapeutic Grade Aromatherapy Oils, 10 ml

I'm relatively new to essential oils and have been researching beforehand, but this is one of the first two oils I bought from Eden's Garden. I've been loving Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree and Dessert Essence tea tree & neem toothpaste, so I love having the essential oil that I use for everything. It's antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and mostly okay to apply without always having to dilute. As far as skincare uses go, it makes a great acne treatment. It's recommended as a spot treatment, but I've also rubbed a few drops between my hands and applied straight to my face. I'm still playing around with how to use it, but it has a very strong aroma that can burn the eyes. Not the most delightful smell, very medicinal and camphoric, but I don't mind it. It doesn't dry out my combination skin, although I do like a light moisturizer afterwards. I should note that my acne is minor (fairly well controlled) and I follow a skincare regimen that includes chemical exfoliants like fruit acids and retinoids; tea tree doesn't irritate my sensitized skin. Thinking of making an acne-fighting moisturizer incorporating this into a EO coconut oil blend. I also apply it straight to wounds--healed up some bad heel blisters to sturdy scabs fast within a week. It's a staple for a first aid kit. Tea tree is also the ultimate cleaner for around the house. I have yet to make an all-purpose house cleaner, but its uses are endless. Most notably I added maybe about ten drops to the stinky dog bedding to work its magic in the wash cycle. The bedding came out clean and odorless! Take caution with use around pets-- most essential oils such as this are not meant to be ingested by any means, humans and animals alike. That's why I'm emphasizing use in the wash cycle only. And if you'd like to incorporate any essential oils into a possible treatment for pets, always consult a professional. Another health concern is exposure to young boys can contribute to gynecomastia, or breast tissue growth. Tea tree is one of my must-have essential oils. I bought a 10 ml bottle and after 3 1/2 weeks (at the time of writing this review) I've used maybe about 1/3-1/2 of the bottle and ordered a 30 ml bottle to make sure I have it on hand. Eden's Garden offers high quality essential oils for great prices and don't need flashy sales tactics; I'm happy to support this company. I am not a professional, these are my own experiences and opinions, and I recommend informed use of this product.

I am absolutely in LOVE with Edens Garden EO. I started as a YL customer but just couldn't swallow the prices anymore! I read up on these oils for more than a week before purchasing. I also wrote an e-mail to the company and basically asked them to sell me on their oils and why I should choose them over the other companies out there. I was EXTREMELY satisfied and put at ease by their response and information. These are 100% pure oils folks.. First distillation, non GMO, Organic and Affordable! The main difference between them and YL? 1) They don't own their own crops, they purchase from other growers. The plants they use are native to where they are grown and the growers they purchase from are still checked often for quality control and to ensure they are getting organic product. 2) Because they only sell direct through their website or from Amazon (no pyramid scheme) They are able to sell the oils at cost without bumping the prices to pay for additional salesmen etc.. basically, they have a lot fewer "hands to feed" than YL which makes them much more affordable. I am not bashing YL oils at all, they sell some high quality stuff! Like I said, my pocket book just couldn't handle it anymore. Now through Edens Garden, I get the same quality oil, but I can buy 3 for the price of 1 YL oil. All this information is on the EG website.. they are quick to respond to any questions and are very transparent. Don't like the oil? they have a no questions asked, money back guarantee within 30 days. A lot of people on here complain about some of the oils smelling bad?? I'm sorry.. but some of these oils are specifically for function, not necessarily fragrance. They aren't all going to smell like nectar from heaven. (and they aren't going to smell the same to everyone.. my mom thinks my rosewood oil smells like pepper, but I personally LOVE the fragrance.) it just depends on the kind of plant you're extracting the oil from. Hardly a reason to discredit the company. I now have almost 20 of their oils and have loved every one of them! Can't wait to buy more.

I ordered this Tea Tree oil and Eucalyptus oil of the same brand to make my own cloth wipe solution. I gave it a 5 star because it smells great, it has been useful and functional as far as I can tell. I cannot say for the quality as I don't have any way to test its quality or if it truly is "pure." Tea tree oil is supposed to have anti-fungal properties, so that is why I bought it. Before I bought this, I was just mixing water with coconut oil and baby soap for my solution and within 24 hours of it sitting in the wipe warmer, it started to smell like mildew. I was so frustrated, so I wanted to try an Tea Tree oil. Mixing with water and baby soap for the cloth wipe solution and the last 3 batches have been great. It smells great, and so far no smell of mildew. I was surprised of the tea tree oil smell, did not know what to expect, as this was my first time ever using tea tree oil. I think it reminds me a bit of menthol rubs? The only thing I was a bit disappointed by, but not enough to lower to a 4 star, is the dropper. I was hoping it was those squeeze pipette style dropper, but it is not. It's not their fault, it was my misunderstanding of what "euro style dropper cap" meant. I've attached a picture. The only thing I don't like about this style is that you have to "shake" the bottle to get a drop in, and thus, it is not an accurate measurement. I only want to put 2 drops per solution batch, but often I get more than that. Not a huge deal, and also it seems like every essential oil comes with this type anyway. All in all, great, and I think it will last me a while, but once I'm done with it, will certainly be ordering another!

I bought this to freshen up my daughter's diaper pail. She's breast feed and not on solids yet, but that doesn't mean her diaper pail (a $7 IKEA can) can smell kind of funky after a day. This tea tree oil has a nice, clean aroma that lasts. I drop a couple drops in the new trashbag and it works to ward off the stink (I'll update this too once she starts eating solids and her poo's get a little worse lol) But what I'm super happy at is.... IT KEEPS ANTS AWAY! I'm not normally a homeopathic bug killer kind of person. I grew up with Raid in my household. But with a little one around, I'm way more apprehensive. We live in a house that the bug guy told us ants like coming up through the foundation and there's nothing that we can do about it other than put out traps. It was driving me nuts because they were in my kitchen. I'm not a neat freak by any stretch, but I like my kitchen clean and bug-free, because EWW. I read online that tea tree oil can ward off ants, so I loaded up a cotton ball with it and rubbed it all over where I saw the ants, and THEY WENT AWAY. I soaked a few more cotton balls and put them in strategic places to keep the scent. I'd rather have random cotton balls than bug traps any day. I know there's a gazillion more uses for this stuff, but these two reasons work for me!

I bought this tea tree oil and was pleased overall -- the oil was well-packaged, a quality product delivered on time. It's got great soothing qualities for skin and hair, and can also be used homeopathically and very effectively as an insect repellent in nooks and crannies under cabinets. However, please BE WARNED. Tea tree oil is also VERY toxic, a fact I wish I'd known before purchase, because I was spraying it liberally on sleep pillows with lavender, all sorts of stuff, simply thinking it would add a pleasant scent (which it did). However, recent articles I found floored me because I quickly realized tea tree oil is highly toxic to children and animals, ESPECIALLY cats, who evidently need only a small topical exposure in some cases to lead directly liver failure and death! So be warned -- it's a great essential oil and offers many proven homeopathic remedies, but if you are a cat owner, use with extreme caution, and never in ways that will result in direct contact with your cat. NEVER use it as a pet shampoo additive, and keep it away from pets and children. Use cautiously. Otherwise, it's pleasant, more than fairly priced, and mixes well with lavender and rosemary for pleasant scents in linen closets or under cabinets. Just use it carefully!
