ok, tea tree stinks

[Guest]

Thats just my opinon. How do I use this in products without the stink? I got a shipment from WSP today and I always get one bottle that leaks...never ever fails. well, of course this one leaked! ugh. It took me forever to get the stink from my hands.

So back on topic- how do you use it without the stink? I do not like it.


I do love thier cherry vanilla FO mmm, that smells great. I cant wait to make a gift set with it. and some balm for me. lol

Like all EOs, it smells alot better in soap. I go Burt's Bees style when I use it. I mix Lavender, Rosemary, and Tea Tree which is what they used to use in alot of their soaps.

this smell holds pretty true throughout the soap, if youd like...you may be able to transform the scent by using anything from the mint family or combining it with eucalyptus...

I love tea tree scent, but its all about personal preference

I agree I love tea tree oil. I have yet to make it in soap but I do use it all all my other household cleaners. Including my toothpaste and mouthwash. I did get some tea tree this past week to use in soap! I also bought some citrinella (sp?) to add to it. Hope that combo works well. can't wait

I'm not a fan of how tea tree oil smells too.

I have two bottles of tea tree oil and have still NOT want to work with it yet. the smell is just so strong! But when I do try it and I really do want to try it (now) after reading about the blends.

For my next soap batch, I will blend with lemongrass or eucalyptus oil.

I love it, though it is very strong at first, but you get used to it. I love making an all tea tree oil bar.

I have yet to use tea tree oil in any of my soaps....but I have used it on this funky rash that I had and had been treating with all different kinds of over the counter creams (antibacterial, fungal, whatever) which didn't really help...but used the tea tree oil on it for like 2 days...probably put it on 2 or 3 times a day...and it cleared it up! So as much as I don't really like the smell necessarily...I am now I believer of its uses My boyfriend actually put some on his athletes foot too...and cleared it up in a couple of days.

I love tea tree oil! It has marvelous properties, and the scent mixes well with other oils. Heck, I even brush my teeth with it - it completely eliminated my dental problems.

I blend it with peppermint & euchalyptus for a foot cream. In the summer I add some menthol crystals.
