Can I apply this tea tree oil directly to my skin or nails?

This product is a 100% essential oil, so it is much more concentrated than a typical ready-made cosmetic. The product information describes it as suitable for people who want to regulate the composition of products themselves, which means it is intended for careful, controlled use rather than casual application over large skin areas.

For skin, nail or foot care, many users choose to mix essential oils into a suitable base product, such as a carrier oil or an unscented cosmetic product, instead of applying them neat. This helps reduce the chance of discomfort, especially on delicate or dry areas. Do not use it near the eyes, mucous membranes or broken, irritated skin, and wash hands after handling if there is any risk of touching the eyes.

Before adding it to a routine, it is sensible to test a very small amount of your chosen diluted mixture on a limited area and wait to see how the skin responds. Stop using it if redness, burning, itching or other discomfort occurs. People with a tendency to allergies or irritation, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, should consult a specialist before use.
