Like Toula's father in 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' who thinks Windex is a panacea, my alleged father thinks tea tree oil cures all.
I usually just tell him that he expects too much of a simple oil and leave it at that.
Then recently I got a little bit of a dry patch on my leg and figured why not use this for a test?
The Thursday Plantation hand and body lotion smells strongly of tea tree oil, but also contains a number of other botanical extracts as well, including witch hazel, macadamia and honeysuckle.
It is a good viscosity for a lotion as well.
I put it on my dry skin for three days and... It tore my skin to shreads! :(
It became red, itchy, weeping and sore.
I think the problem may be that this contains too much of the oil... and that the oil is NOT the magical cure-all you think it is, father!
A better treatment for dry skin/burns/eczema:
Soooo much better!
Price: 3.5/5 (RRP $13.30 for 200mL)
Scent: 1/5 (I think it is stinky)
Effectiveness: 0/5
