Essential Oil Dilution Guide: Ratios, Carrier Oils, and How to Get It Right

Topical aromatherapy starts with smart dilution. This guide gives you quick, reliable ratios for daily use (0.5–2%), short‑term therapeutic blends, and very small areas; which carriers to keep on hand (fractionated coconut, jojoba, sweet almond); and when to choose butters or gels. You’ll learn how to measure by drops and by weight, convert between millilitres and teaspoons, and adapt recipes for kids and sensitive skin. We also cover patch testing, storage for pre‑diluted rollers, and common pitfalls like “more is better.” With a few baseline formulas and safe maximums, you can make effective, skin‑friendly blends with confidence.
