Peppermint and Tea Tree Oils Reviews

I received these items in exchange for honest reviews.

So I was going to just post my review for Radha Peppermint oil today, but I've mostly been using it in combination with Sun Essential Oils Tea Tree oil so I decided what the heck.. I'll just do a double review. I mostly used the peppermint oil as I had been, for treating my headaches. However, about a week or two ago I woke up one morning with ants everywhere in my living room. After a quick Google search, I found out both peppermint and tea tree oil are good for keeping bugs away. So I put a few drops of these oils on a cotton ball, rubbed the oil along my door (I had no idea where they were coming in at due to the carpeted floor) and left the cotton ball tucked into the door crack. The next morning I woke up and they were pretty much all gone. We've had a few stray ants here and there but in general they've stayed away. I tried this trick with flies, and gnats as well and it seemed to work really well to keep them away.

Additionally, I have what I guess is heat rash on my right arm. I thought immediately to try the tea tree oil since I've used it in the past for bug bites. However, after another Google search I found peppermint is a good oil for heat rash and sure enough this oil seems to have not only reduced the itch but helped heal the rash. I've only been using this peppermint oil on my rash for about two days and the rash is almost gone now, whereas I've had it for about a week or so and it hadn't shown any sign of improving prior to using the oil.

Review:
This oil seems comparable to other peppermint oil I've used. It has a strong, pleasant scent. This oil came with an eyedropper which unfortunately is too small so it won't screw onto the bottle as normally expected. I contacted Radha Beauty about this, but I never received a message back from them. In fact, I've had to contact them numerous times about another product and after over two weeks I still have not heard back from them at all. I'm less than impressed with their customer support, obviously. That aside, as mentioned above this oil did work well so I can recommend using it (I just hope you don't need assistance from support :P)

This oil is $10.95 on Amazon for a 4 fluid ounce bottle. That makes it almost half the price of my other peppermint oil, at the same size bottle so pretty good deal.


Sun Essential Oils Tea Tree
Blurb:
  • GET BETTER RESULTS WITH SUN ESSENTIAL OILS - With what we believe to be superior sourced and harvested ingredients, we think you will agree that our oils are by far the most effective on the market - a wonderful smell that can't be beat!
  • SUN PROVIDES THE BEST ESSENTIAL OILS - Yes, it's a matter of opinion, but we believe our oils to be the best and will provide anyone who doesn't feel the same way with an 100% pure, unconditional manufacturer refund, anytime. We think you will feel that you have never smelled an oil this wonderful...and that after you have smelled this oil other brands may have a distinct alcohol or chemical smell with a 'dry' scent and noticeable lack of depth.
  • LOVE THE SMELL AND FEEL GREAT - Fatigue and irritability are often a result of many factors that are difficult to pinpoint.  Clear your mind and relax with the wonderful smell of Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Review:
This oil seems to be comparable to my other tea tree oil, although the scent is definitely not as strong. As mentioned above, this oil does work well. Let me talk about packaging for a minute. I've gotten many different oils from this company now and the packaging seems to be different for each one. I've had quite a few issues with the outsides of the bottles being completely covered in oil when I received them.





This is a picture of how I received this particular oil, and I have received maybe one other oil from this company with this kind of bubble wrap. Seriously, this is some crazy bubble wrap. It's almost like a little case you have to open up and pull the bottle out of. I was really impressed with this bubble wrap and I wish they used it on every single package. Unfortunately, if memory serves correctly, I do believe my bottle arrived with just a little bit of oil on the outside of the bottle regardless.

Additionally, notice the little plastic pipette in the picture? I've gotten one of these with each of my oils so now I have about ten of these little things floating around the house. They easily get lost and of course you can't just keep them inside the bottle or anything like that so I find these to be a very cheap and lousy alternative to an eyedropper with a screw on lid. I much prefer that. As it stands, I have all of these pipettes and there's no way I'm going to be able to remember which one I used for which oil so it's likely I'm going to contaminate my oils by getting them mixed up. Not good. In truth I found it easier to just unscrew the cap and not use the pipettes at all.

This oil can be purchased on Amazon.com for $13.49 for a 4 fluid ounce bottle. This is only a little cheaper than my other oil, and if I had to pick one to purchase, I'm afraid I would buy the Radha Beauty Tea Tree oil simply because I prefer the eyedropper cap, and it has a stronger scent making me think the oil is better quality plus I haven't had any packaging problems with Radha Beauty.
