Can I add Tea Tree Oil to my products?

Post by cosmeticcosmos » Tue Jan 25, 2011 9:19 am

Will my products spoil or make the ingredients inactive if I mix them with Tea Tree Oil? It might not be a good idea to put them directly inside the jar or bottle. What do you think? I may also mix a few drops in with the Green Tea Aloe Serum or Hemp Moisturizer every morning (not directly inside the bottle). Does anyone know if the active ingredients will remain active once I do this? The TTO really calms inflammatory acne for me I've found recently.

Thanks!

Can you add it to one product rather than all of them? If you were to give it a try, I would try adding a drop to a small amount of the Green Tea &
Aloe Serum or the Hemp moisturizer in a seperate container...maybe just a week's worth or less, just because they are more simple type products and in case it is not to your liking. I would just be concerned about adding too much.

I do add a few drops of an oil blend to my Oatmeal Serum as I put it on, but it is an oil blend that is designed for straight use..... I don't think it is a good idea to use the tea tree oil straight. You could make a dilution in jojoba?
