You could buy generic Tea Tree oil for $10 an Oz in a drug store, or $12 for 4 Oz here. I could smell the Tea Tree essence as soon as I began to open the package. It was packed up all nice and safe in a box with bubble wrap. I squeezed some drops onto my fingers and massaged my scalp for a few minutes, the smell is delightful and it left my scalp with a tingly cooling sensation. I'm going to start adding a few drops to my epsom salt baths for aroma therapy. Would definitely buy again, great deal!
