Diluting Essential Oils: Everything You Always Wanted to Know 

Diluting essential oils is easy to learn - once you understand the ratios and percentages! Comment below if you are feeling confused about how to dilute essential oils.

A few things that actually helped to control my hair fall include: (1) I discontinued wearing hair ties because it causes tension damage. (2) I began massaging my hair and scalp twice a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while bending over & holding my head inverted to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to safeguard my hair from pollution. (4) Using mild shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.

Wow you explained it crystal clear and very informative , thankyou ❤

Your English is so clear , you should be an E.S.L. Teacher ( English as a second language teacher)

Wow this made so much sense. I’m trying to learn how to mix two carrier oils-grapeseed and fractionated coconut oil with a ribose powder mix with water to maintain a 5% strength of ribose. Can you advise please?

New subscriber here! I'm planning to make an oil for my hair (personal use) which I researched and found out that 3% dilution is good enough for regrowing/thicken my hair (I do not have sensitive skin) soo....in 100ml bottle- I'll have 97% carrier oil (can I also mix different types of carrier oils? or should I just use 1 type of oil?) And if my understanding is correct....was the 3ml essential oil the 3% dilution? 1ml = 20 drops means 3ml = 60 drops Just an example- if ever I have 7 essential oils (ex. lavander, peppermint, thyme, etc) that I wanna combine together means......I'll need to divide 60 to 7, right? 60 drops / 7 diff oils = 8.57 or 8 drops of each of the 7 essential oils? Putting them together in a bottle of 97ml of carrier oil, did I do it right? What should I do after putting them together? Just let them be? and for how long? or should I mix (stir) or shake them up instead? Pls let me know if I get it right or wrong because I really wanna learn this

Hi and Thanks! Would like your take on Walnut Oil as a carrier. I made my first essential oil concoction yesterday - thanks to you and a few other YT stars I blended a "Hippie" winner! In doing so, I noticed that the plastic beaker I used became permanently etched in the process. Thank goodness there hasn't been such results to my skin :) Love you - thank you! 🐜 PS: I'll be using a glass beaker next time.

I want to ask something. I want to use Rosemary essential oil for hair growth purpose.What percentage of rosemary essential oil in carrier oil would be effective for hair growth.5% seems too less for me.

Hi I just found your channel yesterday. After watching this video, I want to say thank you for being a good source of info. I became certified a few months ago, and I base everything off what I was taught in school. Your information matched a lot. You did an excellent job of explaining dilution and percentages. Anyway, I subscribed and I look forward to more true, safe, and honest oily info from you! Thanks for all you do, and “Have A Smelly Day!”

Hi Amy, I have leg old scars and planning to use the essential oils of Helichrysum and Frankincense ( watched your video). My carrier oil would be castor oil, avocado oil or raw unrefined shea butter. Please let me know how can I measure this. I’m confused.

Thanks so much for this video, please help me, I have my 30ml lavender essential oil and want to dilute with tea tree oil and other carrier oil to use on my acne skin. Am 39years, how can I dilute please?

"Hello, how are you? I need your help. I want to know which essential oils can be used for depression and anxiety. I have a friend who recently lost a loved one, and I want to give her something non-drug-related to help her relax and sleep better. She's currently on antidepressants and sleeping medication, but she's trying to get off them. I thought essential oil blends might be able to help her. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks."

Can you show me how to make an alopecia oil? I made up a blend based off of multiple videos I’ve watched. But I’m mot sure about the dilution for the multiple oils I used. Not sure if that matters

I really like you r video I have a better understanding now, i would like to download your guide

Let's say I wanna put different essential oil on one mix or blend. Say I wanna mix lavender, tea tree and vitamin e oil altogether. How should I dillute?

I have a question! 🥺 I would like to mix 3 carrier oils with different essential oils for my scalp. How should I mix that? It would be great if you could help me out 😢

Amy, I can’t thank you enough for this video. Over 100 videos out there and not one have come close to the information you have kindly provided. You have finalized all sleepless nights on ratios. Slowly and accurately, you have narrowed down the usage for skin products which have matched what I am using already. Perfect!! I am a soap maker of all creations and I use essential oils more than fragrance. A room mist with an accord of essential oils will be used. It is recommended at 10 to 15% of the pre-mixed accord into perfumers alcohol, but we must mix the accord first to create a perfume. At 10% we would take 600 x 10% = 60 drops. So you have an 8 oz bottle so 8 oz of alcohol x 60 drops is a total of 480 in a combination of your accord of oils top middle and base taking into consideration oils that can cause irritation. Thank you again.

Amazingly descriptive and informative. I usually don't like introduction but yours is incredible.

Thanks so much.

Diluting rosemary oil with jojoba oil. Do I just mix them together or what do I need to do? Should I warm them up beforehand? And how much percentage of the rosemary oil should I have? Pls answer!

Fabulous! You spoke slowly and descriptively. I found it very easy to follow.

where can I find your guide?

But if I use the oil on my scalp, how much should precentage then? I thought people usually put 10%.

Let's say I want to use 4 types of essential oil in a carrier oil for hair for myslef. How much drops in each essential oil i should I add to the carrier oil

What is the difference between essential oil vs fragrance oil and should fragrance oil be diluted with denatured alcohol?

I understand the percentage of essential oils, but im confused about the amount of carrier oil to use. How much carrier oil do i use? Depending on the percentage of essential oil used, how do I calculate the amount of carrier oil? You mentioned using 1oz of carrier oil in the video. Was that standard or just an example? Lastly, how about DYI magnesium spray? Im going to make magnesium spray in 4oz spray bottles. I purchased my essential oils as well as carrier oils. For a 4oz spray, how much of the carrier oil should i use? Thanks

It would've been soooooo much better if you told how many drops of Essential oil will make 3% in two teaspoon career oil THAT IS IT.

Hi ! I usually dilute lavender essential oil with water and a little vinegar to use as a mist. This time I refilled it and the diluted water turned YELLOW!! Do you know what is the reason for this ?

Thank you so much. This is really helpful. I have been wanting to make my own hair oil as my hair has been really dry and prone to breakage and thinning. Seeing the chart has really given me the idea on how I can combine the EOs I want to use. Hope you could also add Tea tree oil 😊. The 600 drops and percentages explanation was REALLY comprehensive. I appreciate what you do here. I’ll go check out your course, really2 nice content you have here in youtube.

Thank you so much for taking you time to really explain this. My live has changed so much since being able to research on RU-vid. Also how can we be sure we have the real oil and not fake. Again I thank you.

So for a free chart I gave you my email, never received the chart and keep landing there, we're it says pay 7 dollars. Why so complicated?

Can you send me a recipe for the face for scars and wounds. I recently had droopy eye surgery and I have a very ugly scar that is still healing and would like to help it along with the 5 essential oils you recommend.

Thanks so much about your information. I'm starting with blending my own oils and found your videos the most informative. I first watched the video of how to choose and blend essential oils and after that this video about dilluting the oils. I ended up with the math for 2,5-5 % per ounce (for the body as I want to use it as a perfume kind of oil). Which led me to 15-30 drops on 30 ml. When I started to blend I added more and more drops from my essential oils so I doubled the amounts to be save. I ended up with I think 50-60 drops on 60 ml oil. I mixed up a blend from lavender, helichryse (a pure one), lemon - sweet orange and peppermint. I would have loved to skip on peppermint but the last oil was already blended like that and i had no other options. Since I'm a beginner I went with it and with the smelling test it smelled really good. I just kept adding drops until the scent was most like the smelltest. Then I mixed the blend with 60 ml of calendula oil and did a test on my skin. I still needed some more earthy deeper notes so i freestyled to mix in just 2 drops of cedar wood (this wasn't in my original blend) and now the smell is deep and still has the sweet warm fresh sent of the orange and the soothing and calming from the lavender but still is a bit too much fresh from the peppermint. In the future I love to experiment more and totally get rid of the peppermint to make it extra warm but I think it's a good first try. I've been looking for years for a scent that's the perfect blend between orange and warm earth scent but no existing perfume ever came close until I found out about blending and today I finally did it and it really comes close. Thank you so much!

Hi :) I just found your channel and already saw 3 videos. Thank you, they're great! Just wanted to know how should i dilute essential oil with raw shea butter? The butter is very stiff and I'm afraid hitting it will cause damage. Can you please help with that?

Hi, Amy! Thank you for the informative video. It has been very helpful! I am having a little difficulty with the ratios for a 10 mL roller bottle for perfume. If I am at 20% dilution of e.o. in carrier oil, what rule do I use for top, middle, and base notes? I have heard of the 3-2-1 and 4-3-1 rules, but I am not sure how to apply them with the amount of drops. How many drops would I use of each note, and is 20% dilution for 10 mL the highest dilution percentage I can go? Thanks so much in advance, I appreciate any insight!

Hi Ms. Amy, where can i find the link for the blending factors of each essential oils? Thanks in advance

😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Hi Amy, I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to (or maybe I'm just really bad at math, which is true): If I am mixing a combination of essential oils into 1oz of carrier oil (making beard oil) and I want 1% dilution which means I would typically add 6 drops of my EO blend to the bottle. However, let's say I know that one of the EOs I am using in my blend has a safe dermal dilution ratio (for facial application) of only .5% (while the others all have 1-1.5% for facial application). In this scenario, would I only want to add 3 drops of my EO blend to my 1oz of carrier oil? Or would I still be ok adding 6 drops? Basically, would the presence of one stronger EO lessen the amount of the overall blend of EOs I could add to my carrier oils? (I know in my literal example I could just add fewer drops of the one oil into the bottle but am looking to scale so would like to know for future reference when making bigger batches.) I hope this question makes sense. Thank you for the fantastic content!

Hi! Nice video. Can you explain or show how to dilute viscous thick oil like calendula or chamomile co2 extract and mix them into carrier oil like jojoba oil or sweet almond oil? I heard warm water bath, but is there a proper way to do?

I got it through the link now, the blending chart. Thank you. But nothing arrived in my email.

100 drops is a teaspoon?????

Thank you 😊 great advice.

can i dilute several essential oils on one carrier oil?? and how should i calculate that dilution?

Good day, madam May i please ask you for some advice. ...my question is... If i would like to blend my essential oils in to my roller 5ml bottle for my aromatherapy. Then 5ml = 100 drops, If i use 5% = 5 drops, Do i must have mix all base, middle and top note in just 5 drops??? Then put all together within Carrie oil,.are these right? Does 5% is just right??? Thanks for your help Best! / Jojo

thats about as clear as mud

You don’t know how great this blessed me! Will you please help with weighing the essential oils because I make hair growth oils and I’d like to know how to weigh out ML of essential oils for 32oz of carrier and above. I know the drop count, which is high as you can imagine, so I’d prefer to weigh it out in grams or ounces.

Hi Amy, I'm Vilma from Philippines I really like to watch your videos about on how to dilute those essentials oils. I really want to know more details about it. Because I like to make my own personal perfume.

Am confused. Can you please give an instance of making a 10ml. We can multiply from there

So is it best just to mix the essential oil with the carrier off the bat... or per use? Ive always thought you dilute just when you use it at that moment...or is it ok to dilute the whole bottle off the bat.?

What a useful information! Thank you so much. I subscribed and looking forward for more useful tips about essential oils and how we can use them in creating our own perfumes. Greetings from Athens Greece

Hello do you have any suggestions for proper essential oil for surgery scars

Hi I’m just trying to wrap my head around if it’s possible to get 3% dilution of multiple essential oils in a carrier oil. For example I’m looking at making a hair oil with 3% of for 4 different essential oils which would equate to a total of 12% total essential oil dilution which I’m guessing would have burning effects. I’m only wondering this because to get some of the effects of the oils they’re best diluted at them ratios.
