🌿Essential Oil Dilution Guide

🌼 Why Dilution Matters

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts. Diluting them in a carrier oil, lotion, or butter ensures:

  • Skin safety

  • Proper absorption

  • Longer-lasting aroma

  • Reduced risk of irritation


🌱 Core Dilution Formula

1% dilution = 1 drop essential oil per 5 mL carrier

Use this formula for all blends.


🌸 Kitchen Reference

1 tablespoon = 15 mL

  • 1% dilution → 3 drops

  • 2% dilution → 6 drops

  • 3% dilution → 9 drops


🌿 Roller Bottle Guide (10 mL)

  • 1% → 2 drops

  • 2% → 4 drops

  • 3% → 6 drops


🌼 Safe Use Tips

  • Always patch test new blends.

  • Avoid applying essential oils directly to skin without dilution.

  • Keep oils away from eyes and mucous membranes.

  • Store blends in dark glass bottles.

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
