I have tried some of their products but i had to cancel my membership due to th e large quanitly you had to buy every month. you have to use 35 points every month which can easily total up to $65-75 real quick. I liked the lotions and oils but especially liked the cleaning products. I love the laundry detergent... my last order i got 4 of the large ones. With 2 small kids around.i liked the natural products but was unable to keep up.. I did not need to buy that many points every month.. If you use vitamins it would prob be worth it... If you wanted to try a few prodcucts you could prob try ebay ..

good luck

melaluca is the genus name for what is commonly called tea tree. it is a

wonderful anti bacterial and has lots of healing properties. I have used the

wide variety of products that are made and called melaluca, and they are

wonderful. i have also used other formulas made with tea tree and love the

stuff.

A: Melaleuca is Tea Tree Oil. Instead of buying that pricey products, get some

tea tree

essential oil in a dropper bottle and put a few drops in your laundry, your

lotion,

whatever. Although I get mine from a supplier on line, I heard you can buy it at

Walmart. This stuff is fantastic. You can use it neat on just about everything.

Bruises

disappear, paper cuts stop stinging almost immediately, etc. It has a distinct

smell

but you get used to it. Keep it in the fridge away from kids and pets. We love

it.

It is really skanky stuff. Total rip-off and is no less toxic.

Don't get me wrong, I love tea tree oil. However, there is a company that is

called Melaleuca which claims that it makes lots of " natural " stuff from

melaleuca oil. They are MLM and a rip off.

Here's a good litmus test, if they use " points " as a way of disguising how

much money it costs, it is worthless.

My mother was a Melaleuca faithful in the mid-90s. There was nothing

they could't make. But not only are they an MLM and a rip-off, as

someone correctly pointed out, but an examination of their ingredient

lists on their products tells you they're not as " natural " as they

claim to be. They use the same s**t additives as any other company

out there that we try so hard to stay away from. I use the tea tree

essential oil during my foot reflexology sessions (I live in TX where

summers are long and warm, and you can only imagine what that does to

feet!) It indeed disinfects AND covers any foot odors.

 

Note for those who use lotions: ANY lotion is going to be concocted

with potentially irritating chemicals that are less than good for you.

As an eczema sufferer with EXTREMELY sensitive skin, I've found that

the ONLY non-irritating substances are: purified water (not tap), PURE

unscented unpreserved nut oils, shea butter, cocoa butter, Vitamin E,

and beeswax (and other substances along those lines. Again, must be

PURE and unaltered). Imported tiger balm is also usually OK. Just so

you know. Read your labels! And for the love of Creation, stay away

from mineral oil, petroleum products, etc.

 

Blessings,

hi,

 

i've been using the melaleuca products for about 3 months now and i love the products. i suppose that you can use tea tree essential oil, but i love everything from the soap to the toothpaste and mouthwash to the foot scrub to the cleaning and laundry products.

 

it may seem expensive to use the products, but i have not been to the drugstore or discount store since i started shopping with melaleuca. onced i switched my house to melaleuca, i'm actually saving money because a lot of the cleaning and laundry products are concentrated. i've also started using weight management products and the nicole miller make-up and facial care products.

 

melaleuca is sold in several countries so the point system is used to ensure that all things are equal. 35 points is 35 points whether you're in the us or australia.

 

i love the products and the company.

[Guest guest]

Why else would 35 points consistently equal $65 to $75 dollars?

Also their shampoo has more poison than regular shampoo and their cleaners are more useless than a busted condom. I used to use them, I should know.

It's true. Even the most natural lotions at least have synthetic preservatives, or they would be full of germs and dangerous to apply to your skin. A store proprietor wanted samples of my baby lotion, but I won't make it because IMO, no baby should be subjected to synthetics.

 

Much better for the skin in general, and eczema, etc., in particular, are pure oils and fats, beeswax, and the like, as Jyoti stated.

Shelby... I am sorry you do not like Melaleuca. I actually loved their products but stopped using them cause i did not need to buy 35 points worth of stuff every month. I am still using the laundry detergent and i love the cleaners. They have gotten many stains out that i have not had luck with any where else. i just stopped using them cause i could not fulfull the quota. If I used vitamins I would still be a member.. I would actually buy their products again on ebay but they last so long i have not run out yet..Shelby Blakely <sblakely wrote:

While I have found that MOST supposedly " natural " lotions do use

petrochemical preservatives in them, there are a few companies that

use EO's and/or citrus preservatives instead of the synthetic

chems..... you just have to learn how to read (and decipher)

ingredient labels.

 

If anyone has trouble learning how to read the labels, there are some

excellent " Ingredient Dictionaries " out there... I purchased one for

Food Additives (8,000 ingredients) and one for Cosmetic Ingredients

(6,000 ingredients) several years ago, and they have been invaluable

to me, as far as learning what is what on all those labels..... (much

less time consuming than having to look up each individual ingredient

over the internet)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And be very careful, because companies sometimes (illegally) don't list the preservative, and the eo's are not effective in the long term. The citrus preservative used most often, grapefruit seed extract, has not been found to effectively preserve a water-based mixture, such as lotion. In fact, gse has preservatives added to preserve it, and that is what has been shown to do the preserving in other solutions! It's really only good to help retard oxidation.

 

There is a new group of natural preservatives on the market, however, that shows promise, and I am looking into that, but itt really is a more difficult and complex topic than one might think.

hi, gala,

 

i don't know if i would call melaleuca "herbal", but their products are better and safer than a lot of other things on the market. tea tree oil is definitely "herbal".

 

as far as i know, tea tree oil does not have to be refrigerated because it's used for more topical things.

hi teri, i'm using it now for a planters wart-- it's gotten rid of one in the past. i also put a dab or two on a cotton ball and put it on my feet, it's especially good in the summer as a disinfectant. at my job i wipe it on the surfaces i use. i dislike chemical disnfectants. galaABellaSoul wrote:

gloria, i don't use mealeuca products, although i am familiar with them. i buy tea tree oil from either trader joe's or the local health food store. thanks about the tip on not refrigerating it, i never have, but i just wanted to make sure. galagloria smith <toney0926 wrote:
