The Nezza Naturals Guide to Dilution Ratios and Safe Blending
Blending essential oils at home? Whether you're creating a face oil, a massage oil, or a therapeutic roller blend, getting the dilution right is key for safety and effectiveness.
Here’s a quick and easy guide to help you blend essential oils like a pro—using just your dropper and some carrier oil.
What is a Dilution Ratio?
Essential oils are powerful. A little goes a long way! Diluting them in a carrier oil (like jojoba or almond) not only helps them spread evenly on your skin, but also prevents irritation or sensitivity.
The right dilution depends on how and where you'll use the blend:
