Two powerful oils. One clear difference.
If you’ve ever used Tea Tree for a breakout or blemish, you know it works fast. But what if you need something gentler—without sacrificing effectiveness? That’s where Manuka steps in.
These two oils may be plant cousins, but they serve different roles in your skincare and wellness lineup. Here’s how to choose the right one for you.

When to Use Each
???? Tea Tree is your go-to when you need something powerful and purifying:
-
Spot-treating blemishes
-
Scalp and dandruff care
-
Natural cleaning sprays
-
Insect bites or irritated skin
???? Manuka is the soothing multitasker:
-
Great in natural deodorants
-
Post-shave or wax care
-
Skin calming and scar support
-
Diffusing to neutralize odors
Both are 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils—and both should be diluted with a carrier oil (like our coconut, jojoba, or almond oils) before applying to the skin.
*Look into which oils are safe for children and cats before using them with/around them
Why Not Both?
Many of our customers keep Tea Tree on hand for stronger needs and Manuka for daily, gentle care. Together, they make a powerful duo in any natural wellness routine.
Try both and see the difference for yourself.
