how long woulda 15ml bottle last?

im talking tea tree oil. i just ordered a bottle with 15ml and ide like t know how to say "put 5 drops in the solution." do the bottles come with a dropper? and how long does it last you?

thanx

 

Well the bottles I have are 10ml and they last me a long time, of course it depends on how often you use it. I almost always mix some with baking soda/bicarb which I wash my hair with. Anyway months is how long it lasts for me. Can't tell you exactly how many though. And yes the top has a dropper so it doesn't all come rushing out at once. Just tap it and maybe a couple of drops will come out. Can't you tell if you take the lid of though?

 

wikipedia seems to think a drop is somewhere between 50 - 100 uL so worst case scenarios is that a 15mL bottle contains 150 "drops" or 30 washes.

 

i got 2 bottles not sure what size but pretty standard sizes
ive used the 2 bottles since august...6 months now i use 10-20 drops a week (well thats what i say anyeway i just shake the damn thing it could really be 30-60 or so)
a bottle of teatree oil will last ya at least several months

 

quite long man, its seriously strong stuff

just another thought - if anyone reads on.. how much do you guys (i suppose in america?) pay for essential oils and stuff. i bought my teatree for R50! thats, about 5 US dollars. sound about right to you? or is it just another SA ripoff?

 

i really have no idea what i paid, maybe 4 maybe 6 i have no clue
5 bucks though dont sound like a ripoff though since a bottle lasts a long long time
probly can find it online cheap
just googled it saw 1/2 oz for 6 an oz for 6.95
most bottles were betweween 5.95 and 6.99
so 5 aint a bad price
keep in mind packaging and all has costs and generaly the bigger bottle u get the lower the cost of the actual oill
so your better off paying lil more for a bigger bottle that lasts much longer

 

essential oils are expensive, but like SE said they last a long time. it is potent stuff.

 

thanx everyone. now i know its anti-fungal or whatever but is that its only purpose?

 

gets rid of dandruff :cheers2:

 

oh exellent thank you

 

it smells good

 

why did you bother ordering it? you can get it in most chemists and health stores!

 

i dont know lol i just did.

 

how is it for the itchies?

 

It will help treat/prevent dandruff & itchies and will repel lice, nits and other bugs.

 

thanks bcmama

lovin you

 

ah ok. cool was just wondering

 

also, if you have smelly feet, you can put a few drops into a soak twice a day and it will help. and you can use it as an antiseptic for cuts and the like.

 

yes, an excuse to soak my feet twice a day is always welcome.

 

hahahaha right on!
