What is the dilution ratio of a single essential oil?

Single essential oil is a type of essential oil that many people know about. So what is the dilution ratio of single essential oil? What is the dosage of a single essential oil?

Dilution ratio of single essential oil

The percentage of essential oil and massage oil can be between 1%-3%. If you are preparing aromatic massage oil for the face or sensitive skin, 0.5%-1% is appropriate. A percentage of 0.5% is approximately 1 drop of essential oil added to 2 teaspoons (equal to 10 ml) of base oil, and a percentage of 1% is approximately 1 drop of essential oil added to 1 teaspoon of base oil.

If used for body massage, the ideal ratio of essential oil to base oil is about 2%, which means adding 2 drops of essential oil to every 1 teaspoon of base oil. If it is for medical purposes, the essential oil concentration can be increased to 3%, that is, add 3 drops of essential oil to every 1 teaspoon of base oil.

The percentage of dilution of essential oils into base oils, that is, the concentration of aromatic massage oils, also has a simple conversion method:

1% aromatic massage oil: 1 drop of essential oil + 1 teaspoon of base oil (5 ml)

3 drops of essential oil + 1 tablespoon of carrier oil (15 ml)

2% aromatic massage oil: 2 drops of essential oil + 1 teaspoon of base oil (5 ml)

6 drops of essential oil + 1 tablespoon of carrier oil (15 ml)

3% Aromatherapy Massage Oil: 3 drops of essential oil + 1 teaspoon of base oil (5 ml)

9 drops of essential oil + 1 tablespoon of carrier oil (15 ml)

Each time you add carrier oil to an empty bottle, you must leave a little space to prevent the carrier oil or essential oil from overflowing the bottle. For example, if an empty essential oil bottle has a capacity of 30 ml, then only add 25 ml of base oil to the empty bottle, and then add essential oil, which is about 12-15 drops of essential oil.
