Diluting Essential Oils: Everything You Always Wanted to Know

[@officialamygalper]

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.

[@riccarinae7165]

I'm very confused nobody is making it clear I'm not mixing multiple fragrances I'm only using 1 fragrance

[@riccarinae7165]

I'm using 10 ml bottles and only 1 fragrance (essential oil) I'm trying to figure out the measurements

[@officialamygalper]

@@riccarinae7165 Are you making a roll-on? Can you please reply back and tell me: 1) are you making a roll on?? 2) what single essential oil are you using?? I will be able to give you a clear answer once I know this information

I am just a little. How would you dilute oil for hair?

[@kalpanalamani6768]

I have a question! If I'm making an oil of 100 ml for hair growth using 4 different carrier oil with rosemary,lavender,tea tree and peppermint essential oil what could be the dilution ratio and how many drops to be added in 100ml bottle?💜

[@yusramalik9172]

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.

[@WhiteDormouseArtisanSoaps]

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.

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

[@officialamygalper]

thanks you! are you just learning about the oils?

[@noortjebosma]

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!

[@officialamygalper]

Oh my gosh thanks for your amazing comment hope we can stay in touch. Are you making things just for your self? or to sell?

[@noortjebosma]

@@officialamygalper thanks for the reply :D just for myself. I am maybe thinking about making mixtures for friends. I think that would be such a personal and loving gift. Making a scent based on the friends character and what that person would probably love.. I won’t sell, for that I would need to be a certified professional in my opinion. It’s just a very nice new passionate hobby for me :)! P.s. i start every morning now with applying the oil and omg it’s amazing 😭❤️

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.

[@officialamygalper]

Sure let me try to do that here in the comments: First you want to always use grams! so 32 ounces is about 1 litre (1000 grams) and for the scalp you want to use about a 2% dilution of essential oils, so that would 2% of 1000 = 20 grams of essential oil total. Hope this makes sense!

How much rosemary you use depends on the size of the container that you are making. For example if you are a making 1 ounce - then I would add about 12 drops of rosemary to 1 ounce of jojoba.

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?

[@officialamygalper]

It all depends on the size of your container and where on the body you are applying it, and what the purpose is. But a general rule is for every one ounce of carrier oil use 8-12 drops of essential oil. So in this case, In one ounce of carrier oil, like jojoba I would add 7 drops of Lavender, 3 drops of T tree. Vitmin E is not an essential oil and it should be added as an antioxdiant intended to improve the stability of the product..keeping it from going rancid.

Haha I’m wondering excatly the same! I heard 10% but in the video it seems like that’s too much…? Maybe try and see. 🤔 Because I’ve also heard of ppl using essential oils only and being fine, that only some ppl react to it.

well first of all thanks for the comment! The issue is that you can't mix oil and water together - it won't work. You'll need an emulsifier to make a cream. I am not familiar with "ribose" so I can't offer any suggestions! But one thing I know for sure is that oil and water won't mix!

[@BernadetteRicci]

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?

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

[@officialamygalper]

the percentage of essential oils always stays constant. So if you are making a humdred gram bottle (which is close to 4 ounces) - and your essential oils are 2% of that 100 gram bottle, that means you would use 98 grams of carrier oil and 2 grams total of your essential oils. Make sense?

Rosemary essential oil can not promote hair growth. It can stimulate and cleanse the scalp..with the HOPE it can help. But there is no proven scientific literature about this. 5% is plenty.

It's never too late! Yes in theory - you can add an oil soluble preservative. But andyrous products (oils and butters and waxes only) generally don't need them if practicing GMPs. You might want to add an antioxidant to help the oils from going rancid, and further stabilizing it from degrading.

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

[@officialamygalper]

yes you understand the math! I'd blend the essential oils first, let them mariante and then add them to your 97% carrier oil - and yes you can blend any amount of carrier oils to total 97% - hope this helps

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!

[@officialamygalper]

I understand what you are saying. For a 1 ounce bottle for the beard (face) you should be using 1% or less essential oils. I would weigh your oils and not use drops anymore. So make a stock bottle of your blend. So if you are making 100 grams of your beard oil, 1% of that would be 1 gram of essential oils. So you would then weigh out 1 gram of your essential oil blend from your stock blend bottle. Make sense?

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

[@officialamygalper]

what you could do is blend your oils in a small bottle, and then once it is blended (only the essential oils) take out 5 drops from your mix and add that to your 5 ml bottle that has your carrier!

[@dapbadooli4833]

@@officialamygalper would be great if I may ask you for one more question. I did blend my essential oils with ratio at 100ml of carrier oil with 5% essential oils (mixed of 100 drops), The result of smell is not "intense"... is there anything wrong about this measurement? Or something should I revise? May I please ask you for your advice, 🙏 thank you very much. Best! 🌸

Hi. From South Africa

[@JaZeClanOfficial]

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.

[@officialamygalper]

Hey! not sure if I understand your question. But I think what yo are trying to ask is if you use different essential oils - a blend. So what you would do in that case would be to first blend your essential oils together separately - then you would add 3% of that blend into the carrier oils. Make sense?

[@sabrinajones6473]

500ml. How many drops?

[@officialamygalper]

If you want to make a 5% dilution then you figure out what 5% of 500 is! Or if you want a 1% dilution then you figure out what 1% of 500 is...so 1% of 500 drops would be 5 drops! get it?

[@ap16104]

What is the ratio of diluting peppermint and rosemary essential oil in 100 ml of carrier oil for hair ? pls ans I am confused .

[@officialamygalper]

I would make that 1% dilution, so 1% of 100 ml is = 1ml ( which approximtely equals a total of 20 drops of essential oil. But peppermint is very strong so I would do 5 drops of peppermint and about 15 drops of rosemary

"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."

best oils for this would be oils from citruses...orange, bergamot, lemon, lime and grapefruit. Also for grounding and calming frankincesne and lavendener

Thanks for this awesome video! I have one question: I would like to create a blend of essential oils into a 10ml roller bottle. This oil will be applied for stress/anxiety. What percent of dilution would you recommend using and approximately how many drops of essential oil should I apply? Same question goes for a 2oz spray bottle with essential oils Thanks!!

[@officialamygalper]

for a 10 ml roller I would do a total of 20 drops of essential oil, that would be about 10%.

if you have a 10 ml bottle - is it a roll-on bottle? if it is a roll on, use a total of 20 drops of your essential oil blend. If it is not a roll-on bottle use only 5-8 drops of essential oil in total

100 drops is a teaspoon?????

[@officialamygalper]

1 tsp equals 5 ml, and 5 ml of essential oil can be anywhere between 100-120 drops, depending on the weight, and size of the drop. hope that helps. Ideally we should always weigh our liquids in grams to get precise measurements. But what I mentioned above is an approximate estimate if you are making products at home for your own use.

[@amirhamza7610]

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.

[@officialamygalper]

2 teaspoons of carrier is equivalent to 10 grams. 3% would be .3 grams. so depending on what your oils are, each oil has a different molecular weight. Measure out your oils to weigh .3 grams, and make sure to count the drops. But you are better off weighing in grams for more precision.
