What dilution of essential oils should I use?
Posted on September 15th, 2008 by admin
I want to make some massage oil – how much essential oil should I put in 100ml grapeseed oil? Also want to make some scented cream – how much essential oil goes in 100ml aqueous cream? Don’t want to put too much and do myself a mischief! I did an aromatherapy course ages ago so I know the basics but am sooo rusty… 3 drops of essential oil to 10ml (2teaspoons) carrier oil. 6 drops of essential oil to 20ml carrier oil 15 drops of essential oil to 50ml carrier oil 30 drops of essential oil to 100ml carrier oil. Recipes The de-stresser= 2 dr lavender, 2dr chamomile 2 dr bergamot The revitaliser= 2dr lemon 2dr black pepper 2 dr rosemary The hormone balancer= 3dr geranium 2 dr cypress 1 dr rose The night of passion= 1dr jasmine 1dr rose 2 dr sandlewood 2 dr ylang ylang all the above to mix with 20ml carrier oil you could try mixing with cream but do smaller amounts as it dosent keep so well. enjoy ! powered by Yahoo answers
Note From Sharron: Dilutiions really depend on what you are using the essential Oil for. If you are using it on children, the elderly or skincare you would use much less. Check out my site for more information on Dilution Rates
