DILUTIONS:
Essential oils are very strong and should be diluted (usually in a carrier oil) or
incorporated into a finished product such as a massage oil, lotion, or aroma
spray. Whether diluting an essential oil or adding it to a finished product, the oil
content should only account for 1% to 2% of the total blend.
Here's an easy guide for how much essential oil to add to 1 oz of carrier oil or to a
finished product. These dilutions for 1 oz can be easily multiplied for larger
batches of finished product or divided for a fraction of an ounce.
1% DILUTION
1 oz = 30 ml = 600 drops of oil
1% of 600 drops is 6
Add 6 drops of essential oil for 1 oz of carrier oil or finished product.
2% DILUTION
1 oz = 30 ml = 600 drops of oil
2% of 600 drops is 12
Add 12 drops of essential oil for 1 oz of carrier oil or finished product.
