Dilution

By


When using essential oils, we want them to not only be safe but effective.💪 

To ensure that we are using them to receive their maximum benefit, something I like to be sure my oil community knows is how to properly dilute oils for topical dilution. As we have gone over, essential oils are very potent and concentrated. When we dilute them with what we call a “carrier oil”, we minimize skin sensitivity as well as extend the absorption into the skin. 

👉 So, what is carrier oil? Carrier oils are vegetable oils with minimal or no scent that are used to dilute essential oils. Our favorite is Fractionated Coconut Oil. Fractionating coconut oil removes the fatty acid chains taking the coconut oil from a solid to a liquid. This liquid extends the shelf life of the essential oil, is non-greasy and provides for better skin absorption. Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and even Olive Oil are also suitable carrier oil options.

How to dilute: if you aren’t a math whiz, have no fear we have got you covered.

For 1 tbsp of carrier oil:
✅ 3 drops of essential oil gives you a 1% dilution ratio
✅ 6 drops for a 2% dilution ratio
✅ 15 drops for a 5% dilution ratio

For babies and elderly or folks with sensitive skin it is best to start with 1%. For adults that are familiar with essential oils a  5% dilution is perfect!
