The Ultimate Guide to the Benefits of Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil, a versatile essential oil, has garnered a reputation as a key component in various skincare and health products. Known for its numerous benefits, manufacturers are increasingly interested in the tea tree oil price due to its efficacy in addressing a range of skin issues and more.

Unmatched Antifungal and Antiseptic Properties Tea tree oil is celebrated for its Antifungal Properties and Natural Antiseptic qualities, making it an excellent choice for formulations targeting fungal infections and skin cleanliness. Its powerful disinfectant capabilities are useful in treating cuts, wounds, and other skin conditions, ensuring products are not only effective but also safe for consumer use.

Effective Acne and Dandruff TreatmentAs a potent Acne Treatment, tea tree oil helps to clear skin by penetrating deeply into the pores to remove toxins and prevent the occurrence of acne. It's a sought-after ingredient in skincare products for its ability to naturally treat acne without harsh chemicals. Similarly, tea tree oil is an effective Dandruff Remedy, soothing the scalp and reducing flakiness and itchiness.

Enhancing Hair and Scalp HealthThe benefits of tea tree oil extend to Hair and Scalp Health. Its use in shampoos and conditioners helps to cleanse the scalp, remove buildup, and promote overall hair health. The Anti-Inflammatory Effects of tea tree oil also contribute to its ability to calm irritated skin, making it a comprehensive solution for scalp care.

Aromatherapy and BeyondThe Aromatherapy Uses of tea tree oil are well-documented, with the oil offering a refreshing and revitalizing aroma that has therapeutic benefits. It aids in reducing stress and promoting a sense of well-being, enhancing the user experience of products that contain it.

DIY Beauty and Skin Care ApplicationsFor those interested in DIY Beauty Recipes, tea tree oil offers versatility. Its incorporation into homemade beauty treatments and Skin Care Applications allows for personalized care routines tailored to specific skin types and conditions, providing manufacturers with a component that adapts to diverse consumer needs.

Cost-EffectivenessConsidering the tea tree oil price, manufacturers need to assess the balance between cost and quality. The effectiveness of tea tree oil in small quantities makes it a cost-efficient option, allowing for the creation of premium products without excessive expenditures.

Broadening Market AppealIn addition to its direct benefits, tea tree oil’s inclusion in daily skincare routines significantly enhances skin health and resilience against environmental stressors. As consumer awareness of natural ingredients increases, using tea tree oil can notably elevate a brand’s appeal in the competitive skincare market.

Synergistic FormulationsTea tree oil’s compatibility with other natural ingredients, such as aloe vera and lavender, allows for the creation of synergistic effects in multi-ingredient skincare formulations. This adaptability makes it invaluable for manufacturers looking to develop holistic and effective skincare solutions, enhancing the overall efficacy and consumer perception of their products.

So, you just realized you're a witch...

Well here's a guide to some things you might find helpful.

If it's something tangible, chances are you might already own some of these things, if not please don't stress about getting them. For some items I will include stores that you can find them as well as price points using the dollar symbol.

Candles

These can be in the form of chime candles, pillar, taper, glass, votive, tea light, etc.

You can get them in various colors but if you are trying to save money you can get white candles. And add your intention and herbs (or just your intention) to achieve your desired outcome.

They can be found at:

The Dollar Tree ($)- Best for votive, pillar, taper, tea light, jar, floating, and glass candles. They can often be found in multiple colors and scents.

Michael's craft store ($-$$) - Best for tall/large pillar and taper candles.

JoAnn Craft store ($-$$)- Best for the same candles as Michael's craft store.

Metaphysical shops ($-$$) - Chime candles and speciality candles such as glass candles with writing on them (exp: love, Orisha, justice candles) and figure candles.

Stores that sell scented candles ($$) - Examples of stores like this are Bath & Body Works and Yankee Candles. These are best for looking for candles that have scents that correspond with your particular spell. For instance, if you're doing a peace spell you may want to look for a candle that smells of lavender or a candle that puts you in a peaceful state of mind regardless of the scent name or ingredients.

Incense

Incense are excellent for air magick and you can often find them rather cheaply in most stores. I personally try to find them as toxin free as possible but you purchase what incense makes the most sense for you. Just as with candle scents, look for incense that either corresponds with your spell by the herb they are supposed to smell like or by feeling.

The Dollar Tree ($) - The ones I've been too have mainly been good for chakra incense.

Etsy ($) - There are multiple sellers with a lot of different scents and quite a few with free shipping!

Magick.com ($)

Amazon ($)

Metaphysical store ($)

Herbs

If you decide that you want to work with herbs you can usually get away with the ones you already have. However, I would caution against burning herbs that aren't organic but of course that is your decision to make. Some places to get herbs are:

The Dollar Tree (they don't have organic but they have a decent selection)

Your local grocery store

Target

Walmart

Metaphysical store

Note: If you can't find the herb you may want to consider using the essential oil instead. Only use a drip of the essential oil. You can also get a tea bag with the herb you need, rip it open, and use that.

Nail Polish

Color magick is the main thing here, but I have come across some scented nail polishes as well. Either way, you can choose a color and/or scent that corresponds to your spell. Here are some affordable brands (by that I mean the polishes from their main collection are not over $10.)

Wet n' Wild

Esssie

LA Colors

Revlon

Sally Hansen

L'Oreal

CoverGirl

L.A. Girl

Cosmetics

I know a lot of people typically include nail polish in this group but I tend to save this category for things such as lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and blush. Once again, the main purpose of this category is color magick but it can also be used for glamour magick. Some brands are:

elf cosmetics ($)

Wet n' Wild ($)

Revlon ($) - Mainly their lipsticks

Rimmel ($) - Lipstick and Blush

Nyx ($)

Revolution Beauty ($)

Essence Cosmetics ($)

Divination

If you are interested in divination there are so many types that you can easily find one that you connect with. Some forms of divination are:

Bibliomancy

Pyromancy

Tarot, oracle, and playing cards

Osteomancy

Water scrying

Crystal scrying

Mirror scrying

Automatic Writing

Tasseomancy

Pendulums

Types of Magick/Witches

It is not necessarily important that you pick a particular type of magick but I think some witches take being able to study multiple types of magick at once for granted. Not everyone is able to maintain focus while looking at magick as a whole, that's why I think separating magick and witches into types can be helpful. This is by no means a complete list but it's a start.

Celestial/cosmic magick

Elemental magick

Green witch

Hedge witch

Water magick

Earth magick

Air magick

Fire magick

Draconic witch

Eclectic witch

Lunar magick

Solar magick

Fairy magick

Kitchen magick

Sea witch

Candle magick

Ceremonial magick

This is by no means a comprehensive list and I will likely add more things to it over time or create more lists similar to this one. But I hope this was at least somewhat helpful!

"Smells and Scents" Rogues Party

Pine - The Mundane and Magical 101

Growing up on my edge of the west coast, Pine trees have always been abundant. Specifically the Western White Pine for example.

This plant spirit is one I work with generally in the winter as this is where I personally feel it’s energy is stronger. It's a wonderful plant to work with and has been used by indigenous cultures to this land for healing. To venerate and honour this land I work with Pine.

Scientific Name: Pinus

Family: Pinaceae

Parts used: For species of Pine it varies

Planet: Mars

Element: Air

CAUTIONS: It is important to know not all species of Pine are edible. Also please note that if you have pets be cautious with Pine as it can cause irritation to the mouth and gastrointestinal issues. Which can lead to serious complications if ingested. Keep any pine needles and oils out of reach.

ALWAYS check with your local herbalist and doctor before consuming any medicinal medicine as they will be able to direct you on proper dosages. Some medications can also interact and so can some conditions with certain herbs.

Do NOT consume if pregnant and Pine may irritate the gut by creating heartburn.

IMPORTANT: Some Pine trees look very alike to other toxic plants so source responsibility and safely.

Uses in Herbalism and healing:

Internally, pine is a traditional remedy for coughs, colds, allergies, and urinary tract and sinus infections.

Topically, pine is used for infections and to lessen joint inflammation in arthritic conditions.

Uses in Magic:

Pine's correspondences are purification, protection, prosperity, healing, fertility and strength.

Pine needles scattered on the floor is said to drive away evil

When burned it can purify negativity

Needles can be burned for reversal spells or back to sender spells

Money magic

Can be used in oils, teas, incense, washes, etc. Get creative!

Makes a great purifying natural cleaner mixed with vinegar

Branches of pine above the bed is said to keep sickness away

In Japan Pine trees are venerated as sacred. Symbolizing longevity. Some place Pine above the front door to ensure lasting joy within, for the leaves are evergreen.

Recipes:

Herbal Salve for Inflammation - Makes 5 ounces

What you need

1 oz. beeswax (use carnauba wax for a vegan salve)

4 oz. Pine Pitch infused oil in Olive Oil - See my Infused Oils post to learn more

Directions

Wrap beeswax bar in an old towel. On a sturdy surface, use a hammer to break bar up into small chunks.

Place beeswax in a double boiler and gently warm over low heat until the beeswax melts.

Add herbal oils and stir over low heat until well-mixed.

Remove from heat

Quickly pour warm mixture into prepared heat safe tin(s) or cosmetic glass jar(s)

Store in a cool location for 1 to 3 years.

current wash day routine (april 2024)

Now that I have an official wash day routine with products that work for me, I'm documenting it for consistency 😎

Taking down a protective style 

The first step is to take down my protective style. I've been keeping my hair in mini twists during the week and then taking them down before wash day. It's a great low-manipulation hairstyle and keeps my hair looking neat. 

I haven't found a specific detangling product yet although I do know that they exist. Currently, I like to first carefully unravel my twists, spray my hair with the KeraCare Curlessence Moisturising Coco Water and then apply a leave-in conditioner. 

I always do this in sections and the addition of these water-based products softens my hair and makes it easy to manage during the process. This also prevents breakage as the hair is easier to work with wet compared to dry. 

After my hair is detangled, I twist the separated sections and then cover my hair with a satin bonnet.

Pre-shampoo & shampooing

As a pre-poo treatment, I use Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Pre-Treatment. This is a pricier product but I have seen a difference in my hair strands since using it.

I drench my hair with water and then apply the treatment to each section, leave for 5 to 10 minutes as instructed and then wash out.

A pre-poo treatment stage has helped very much in length retention. Making sure that my hair is detangled and sectioned into twists makes the wash day process much easier too. 

I cleanse my hair and scalp with the Simply Nourishing Black Soap Shampoo by Kiya Cosmetics. One of the best shampoos I have tried. The peppermint and tea tree oil stimulate and clean the scalp and hair strands. 

Deep conditioning

I regularly have a deep condition for up to half an hour. I also apply an oil blend and brush it through from root to end.

My favourite deep conditioner to use right now is the Camille Rose Algae Renew Deep Conditioning Mask. The oil I add is again by Kiya Cosmetics called the Hair Strengthening Oil.

Leave-in conditioner 

After washing the deep conditioner out, I apply a leave-in to each strand and braid my hair up so it can air dry.

The Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk is the best leave-in conditioner I've used so far. The product soaks right into my hair and the smell of vanilla is gentle yet pleasing.

How to Grow Nails Fast ?

Introduction:

Nail growth is more than just a cosmetic concern. It's a reflection of overall health and well-being. Strong, fast-growing nails can signal good nutrition and proper self-care. However, many people experience slow nail growth for a variety of reasons. Whether it's due to poor diet, lack of care, or underlying health conditions, understanding how to promote faster nail growth can be beneficial.

Understanding Nail Structure:

To understand how to grow nails fast, it’s crucial to comprehend the anatomy of a nail. The nail consists of several parts: the nail plate, nail bed, cuticle, matrix, and lunula. The matrix, located at the base of the nail under the cuticle, is where nail growth occurs. It's here that cells divide and push the older ones forward, forming the visible nail.

Many factors influence nail growth, including genetics, age, hormones, and overall health. While some of these factors are beyond control, there are several ways to promote faster nail growth through diet, hydration, and proper care.

Dietary Considerations:

Nutrition plays a significant role in nail growth. Certain nutrients are essential for healthy nails, including biotin, zinc, iron, and vitamins A, C, and E. These nutrients support the production of keratin, the protein that makes up nails.

Foods rich in these nutrients can boost nail growth. For example, eggs are a great source of biotin, while spinach and other leafy greens provide ample iron. Adding fish, nuts, and whole grains to your diet can also promote nail health. If you're not getting enough nutrients from your diet, consider supplements, but consult a healthcare professional first.

Hydration and Its Impact:

Water is vital for overall health, and nails are no exception. Proper hydration helps keep nails strong and less prone to brittleness and breakage. Dehydrated nails can become dry, leading to splits and cracks.

To ensure adequate hydration, aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. You can also increase hydration by consuming water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelons, and oranges. Additionally, moisturizing your nails and cuticles can help maintain their elasticity.

Foundation of healthy nails :

A consistent nail care routine can significantly impact nail growth. Proper hygiene is the foundation of healthy nails. Keep your nails clean and free from dirt to prevent infections. Regularly trim and file your nails, but avoid over-trimming, which can lead to damage.

Best practices for nail maintenance include using a gentle nail file, applying a protective base coat before using nail polish, and regularly moisturizing the cuticles. These simple steps can go a long way in promoting healthy, fast-growing nails.

Avoiding Common Nail Mistakes:

Many people unknowingly make mistakes that hinder nail growth. Over-trimming, for instance, can weaken the nail structure and lead to slower growth. Additionally, the use of harsh chemicals in nail products can damage the nail bed and matrix.

To avoid these mistakes, use high-quality nail products that are free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and toluene. When removing nail polish, opt for acetone-free removers to prevent drying out the nails. If you notice any adverse reactions to nail products, discontinue use and consult a professional.

Natural Remedies and Supplements :

In addition to a healthy diet, natural remedies can support nail growth. Essential oils like tea tree and lavender have antifungal properties, which can help prevent infections that may slow down nail growth. Massaging the nails and cuticles with these oils can also improve blood circulation.

Supplements like biotin and collagen are popular choices for promoting stronger nails. These supplements support the production of keratin and improve the overall health of hair and nails. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider before starting any supplements to ensure they are suitable for you.

You can also try this product :ProNail Complex

Professional Treatments and Advice:

Sometimes, professional treatment is necessary to address nail growth issues. A dermatologist can identify underlying health conditions that may be affecting your nails. They can also recommend specific treatments or procedures to improve nail health.

Manicures and other nail care services can be beneficial when performed by professionals. These treatments can help maintain healthy nails and cuticles, preventing breakage and promoting faster growth. However, be cautious when selecting a nail salon—choose one with high hygiene standards to avoid infections and other complications.

Conclusion:

Achieving fast-growing, healthy nails requires a combination of proper diet, hydration, and nail care. By following these strategies and avoiding common mistakes, you can improve the health of your nails and encourage faster growth. Remember to be patient, as nails grow at their own pace, and focus on maintaining a long-term nail care routine to ensure lasting results.

ESSENTIAL OILS VS. CARRIER OILS

Essential Oil: A volatile, highly concentrated distillation of plant extracts that retain the natural smell or flavor ("essence") of their source.

Because these are so concentrated, and the extraction process used is quite different from carrier oils, essential oils can be quite volatile. They are flammable and sometimes 'burn' the skin on direct contact, almost like a chemical burn. It can be quite painful. That's why you should never, ever apply undiluted essential oils to your skin.

Examples include common essential oils like lavender, orange, tea tree oil, and ylang-ylang. All of these oils have certain benefits for skin or hair and are commonly used in aromatherapy. However, they are only used in very small, diluted amounts.

Carrier Oil: A base oil used to dilute essential oils before topical application. Typically a single-source oil, but not always.

These are usually pressed, as opposed to the steam distillation process used to extract essential oils.

Carrier oils are harmless when applied topically. Typical examples include Sweet Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, and even Vegetable Glycerin. For a more comprehensive list of those that might be available, look HERE.

Single-Source Oil: As the name suggests, these are oils that come from one plant source that are deemed harmless for topical application, exempting an individual's specific allergies.

Many have health benefits, such as Olive and Avocado Oils, which are full of Omega-3s and other good fats. These benefits can also be applied to haircare and skincare. For more information on which oils are good for cosmetic use, look HERE.

How to Use Essential Oils Topically:

A typical recipe is 1 fl oz carrier oil of your choice to 1-3 drops of essential oil, depending on the strength of the oil and your tolerance. Shake well to mix before each use because the oils can separate when left to settle.

This can be used for skincare, haircare, or bodycare, depending on the oils you select.

Examples:

Essential Oils

Lavender: Relaxation, bug repellent, may help with hair growth

Orange: Energizing, uplifting DO NOT PUT ORANGE EO ON YOUR FACE, IT DOESN'T CONTAIN VITAMIN C & WILL HURT YOUR SKIN

Tea Tree Oil: Antibacterial, clarifying, helps with dandruff control and acne

Rosemary: Clarifying, stimulating, helps with hair growth

And many more! Look up essential oils and their uses HERE.

Carrier Oils

Sweet Almond Oil: Commonly used due to its light scent and easy absorption, but can cause allergic reaction in those allergic to almonds and tree nuts

Coconut Oil: Another good choice with lots of nutrients in it, but does have a fairly strong smell of its own and will affect your blends; particularly good for haircare

Olive Oil: A heavier oil; can have a strong scent; loaded with healthy fats for skin and hair

Vegetable Glycerin: A blend of vegetable oils commonly used in cosmetics, usually high in soy; not much scent

For more information on single-source carrier oils, look HERE.

So, by mixing 1 fl oz Sweet Almond Oil with 1-2 drops Lavender Essential Oil, you can create an oil suitable for moisturizing skin with relaxing aromatherapy benefits. You can also try dabbing some on before going outside to naturally repel mosquitos.

If you want to try using Lavender Essential Oil to boost hair growth and help scalp health, I'd recommend using Coconut Oil as your carrier oil instead. It absorbs easily and doesn't throw off scalp pH. Plus, coconut oil by itself can help condition your hair, improve shine and strengthen, and help your hair grow. It's the natural choice when it comes to oils for haircare.

A few drops of Tea Tree Oil in a suitable carrier oil for sensitive skin -- I recommend Grapeseed Oil -- can help treat and fade acne marks.

The possibilities for mixtures are incredibly vast. It really just depends on what you're trying to do. Get creative with it!

Target Open Story Review - Toiletry Bag & Compression Bag Set

This is a repost of my original blog post on my website, https://crosseyedcricket.art, from this post here! i would appreciate if you would subscribe to my blog or follow me here!

Open Story Small Hanging Toiletry Bag – Blue 

This toiletry bag comes with a handle and a hanging hook, with two zipper compartments, two mesh compartments, and the main body of the bag. For $13 ($12.99 technically), this is the size I would expect. I love the blue color. 

I used this bag on a recent, 7-day 6-night trip, where I was able to pack most of my toiletries I needed in this bag. For reference, I brought nail care, my shampoo & conditioner bar, body wash bar, tea tree oil, face wash, face cream, facial sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, underwear liners, perfume roller, lip balm, chafing stick, travel poopouri, and a body lotion pump. I carried my deodorant with me in my backpack, just in case, so that did not go in this bag. A lot. All of that comfortably fit in this bag and nothing in the bag was damaged or broken when I arrived at my destination or when I arrived home. Again, a note I travelled by car, not plane, so this has not been through luggage abuse.

I love the size of this bag— it is just right for me. It’s bigger than a cosmetic bag, but smaller than the toiletry bags the men in my family use. I’m sure I would be able to fit more into this bag than what I brought if I really planned out where it would go. This is currently my go to. 5/5 stars. 

Have these photos to show all what I fit in there, it fully packed, and its size in relation to my hardshell luggage and weekender bag. 

Open Story 5pc Compression Bag Set

This compression bag set comes with 1 small, 2 medium, and 2 large bags. These bags are not for vacuum sealing; instead, the way you use them is like this: you fill, zip them with their zipper enclosure, and roll the bags to push out the air. Once they’re closed, they’re airtight and waterproof. They’re $20 ($19.99 technically). 

I recently purchased these for a roadtrip where I wanted to take a couple of sweaters; I’ve put my clothes into zip bags before and pushed out the air, but that really only works if that apparel item fits into a gallon size bag. So, I figured, these would be worth a try and the investment. 

I used these for a wool duster from H&M and a men’s large cotton knitted sweater; I used the two medium size bags for these. They fit the items very well and I was able to organize them in my hardshell luggage well. Overall, very pleased with this. 

For my return trip, I filled one of the large ones with my dirty clothes, consisting of undergarments, socks, and shirts. This fit all of them and didn’t seep into any clean clothes I was taking home. Again, very pleased. 

I really enjoy these. I can see me using them in a lot of different ways, for storage and travel, and I love that they really do condense down a puffy sweater that wants to take up half of my suitcase with no vacuum. 5/5 stars.

I hope these reviews were helpful for you and were in depth enough to fully get together all my opinions! I certainly would recommend both of these products, but don’t feel inclined to buy something because of these types of posts. Only get something if you need it or will use it. 

Happy travels! – Annie, The Crosseyed Cricket

I run my blog with my personal issues in mind, and that includes eye strain, eye issues, and being autistic, so i try to run my blog in a way that is accommodating for me and those like me. I cover travel, my art, and a few beauty reviews.

Another Bright Cleansing Pad - This was my sister's purchase from Korea, she had to give it to me for whatever reason lol she did told me that this cleansing pad does not remove waterproof masacara which was a negative and it has a really powerful citrus-y smell that is just overwhleming. Although I did not use it on my face I just use it to remove swatches on my arm.

Iunik Tea Tree Relief Serum - This product really help calm down the redness because of my acne. I really thought I bought a bogus product because I didn't really see an effect on my face but I realized I was using it for the wrong reason. Had to stop it for awhile because I wasn't breaking out for some time then I used it again, when I had really inflamed acne. This serum thought me that you really have to stop and just analyze what going on with your skin, what's causing the breakout then do your research or look over your skincare pantry if you have any products that could help your skin situation before buying anything else.

Happy Skin Hyaluronic + B3 boost capsule serum - Didn't really see a massive difference on my skin. One thing tho, it did not broke me out.

Panoxyl Acne Creamy Wash - I'm so happy that I found this IG page that sells this brand! I've been looking for this product for sooo long because this one helped with my acne since college days then it was phased out. Luckily tiktok is bringing this product back but you can only buy it online not in drugstores.

Happy Skin Invisible Sun Gel Primer - For me, it feels really silicone-y. I would oil up faster when using this product with or w/out make up. Just wanted to try it. Pricey? Uhmm Yes.

Centellian 24 Madeca Cream - Night time moisturizer for years now! Sad thing is I'm not using it as often as I would like because I work at night and this moisturizer is too heavy for work. Still does what supposed to do, help calm down redness, helps with skin barrier and when you wake up in the morning your skin looks real plump!

Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Strawberry Lip Scrub - I got this as a freebie way back when. Didn't really use it when I checked all the products I have that's just sitting on my shelf not being used to their full potential, it got bad. Smells really good before like strawberry vanilla it has a pink tint after when you used it. But then again, I don't really see myself using it.
