How to Blend Essential Oils + Make Aromatherapy Body Oil - Tips from an Expert! | Bramble Berry

[@beautyschoolbooks]

Hi as a certified aromatherapist I would recommend home users use an eyedropper for blending. For adult face it is a total of 25 drops in 100 ml of base oil such as jojoba, olive oil. For body applications, it is 50 drops in 100ml of base oil. Therefore a safe amount in a 10 ml roller bottle use 10ml of base oil also known as a carrier oil. Then just add a total of 5 drops of essential oil However, in healthy adults making perfume you could add up to 8 drops of essential oil in your 10 ml roller bottle. Note the drippolater in the top of essential oil bottles is not a safe way to drop oils into a blend as oils all have different consistencies some drop out very fast and some drop out slowly. Happy blending xxx

[@CerberusBindeweed]

ignore the dilution ratio here people. As a Clinical Aromatherapist, the dilution ratio used here is not safe. Unless you are a clinical aromatherapist who knows their essential oil chemistry, you should not exceed 2.5% dilution. For a 10ml roller bottle, that would be 10 drops of essential oil.

[@keepinitrealwithgee]

agreed. and measuring by weight, not drops or volume

[@tiffanywoolfrey7979]

What would you recommend for 1ml bottles?

[@keepinitrealwithgee]

@@tiffanywoolfrey7979 you'll have to do a larger weight than that. 100g at least. Then decant as needed into smaller bottles. I wouldn't keep dipping the alcohol eye dropper either. They usually come with drip tips anyway. Anywhere between 2.5-5% by weight is safe. Good to research for yourself and find dermal limits. 5% is more for short term uses if you trying to remedy a specific issue. 2.5-3% is safe for everyday use

[@homoerotic85]

I can't believe how close your Lavender blend is to my "Peaceful Gardens" blend! I add just a nip more Sandalwood. Great minds think alike :)

[@SarahZeeb]

Very informative and these are great master blends. I would mix them in a 2oz bottle then add 6 or 7 drops max to a 10ml roller and fill with carrier for everyday use. Max derm limit on grapefruit is very low and having too much without a good amount of dilution burns badly. I learned the hard way sadly.

[@DiffuserDudeAromatherapy]

Yeah this is a 30% dilution! No thanks!

[@SarahZeeb]

@@DiffuserDudeAromatherapy yep that's the reason I said master blend in a 2oz bottle then add 6 or 7 drops max to a 10 ml roller bottle with a carrier oil.

[@RoyalGuardEziode]

So... make a blend first using however many oils you want, let them mix, then take a dropper and add 6-7 drops? I want to make something complex besides 3 oils ratio'd within 7 drops. Just clarifying because I'm very interested in blending. Do you have anymore tips for roll-ons and blending? Feeling very inspired :)

[@SarahZeeb]

@@RoyalGuardEziode yep that's it. I use more than 3 oils in a lot of my blends. Some times I use less than 6 to 7 drops in the roller bottle, just depends on how strong the scent is.

[@RoyalGuardEziode]

@@SarahZeeb thank you 😭 that makes me feel so much more confident. Have you been blending for the past two years, then?

[@saewelodivine1665]

Absolutely love this video although I felt there was a few discrepancies when she said to cleanse the pipette after each dip into the bottles. Seemed like she missed a few moments to cleanse between dips. Also the amount of essential oils she used seemed heavy/too much for the size of the roller bottles?

[@SarahZeeb]

They are very heavy even for making perfume.

[@sugarplumfairy2793]

How many of those drops stayed in the plastic cup? Why didn't she use several disposable pipettes for each oil instead of trying to clean it off in water. I think that water was part of the drops and got into the bottles. I would not dip a wet pipette into my essential oil. That's just me. Very informative video though, and very helpful in mixing essential oils. Thank you.

[@enrikapacesaite5382]

It's alcohol, not water, but i would also use separate plastic pipetts for this, though that creates some plastic waste in the end.

[@SweetVelvetBuds]

Yes. It is very easy to forget to clean the pipette (and she has forgotten it several times, therefore mixing the essential oils, which is a shame) Some essential oil bottles have a dropper included and I love those. But I found this video really really good and informative.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

As someone who has used EOs my entire life I always find it funny when "experts" constantly mention the need for dilution. If you are using something daily and/or on sensitive sections of skin then definitely dilute. However, if using specifically when sick or healing scrapes you can totally use a couple drops undiluted 2-3x a day with no ill effects. Obviously test out on your skin first to know how it will react since some are harsher than others, but after that just use personal digression. That said, for aroma purposes I love the paper towel trick!

[@RoyalGuardEziode]

for perfume, as far as i know, 30% dilution is too much. it should be 5-10% as far as i know

[@liztarrant196]

Interesting video, but using the same dropper for all of the essential oils and rinsing it off in water does not seem like a good way to combine the essential oils. Wouldn't water get into the essential oils and dilute the essential oil and blends? I would think using a pipette for each oil would be a better idea.

[@kimfromnewzealand8768]

It's alcohol, not water

[@rubyblack6682]

I would normally use separate pipettes honestly, however I know that most home crafters may not have multiple on hand.

[@bramble-berry]

You can try using polysorbate to help with holding the emulsification. Cloudiness generally is due to the ingredients though and may not be able to be removed without changing the recipe.

[@vinnart]

Is there a problem blending too many essential oils together? I've been researching hair growth blends, and although I do find there seems to be standards out there for such a mix such as lavender, rosemary, and peppermint from there though I'm seeing others, but never all together such as cedarwood, tea tree, and thyme so I'm thinking of blending all these mentioned in a few carrier oils that again I never see all blended these are castor, pumpkin seed, jojoba, and coconut. All together that is 10 oils so if anyone knows if there are any issues with mixing so many, or feel it fine I'd appreciate some education in the matter. Don't want to find out that turns out t be the magic mix for making hair fall out instead :)

[@RoyalGuardEziode]

I would like to know too

[@kowe76]

I wish you would give other options with amounts to use for the carrier oil (yes olive oil was mentioned, but I would like to use a few different or could I use just sweet almond oil?), instead of a product made by Bramble Berry. I find this is happening more in your CP soap videos as well. I live in Australia and the postage to get those items to us is ridiculous. There is one place in Australia that sells some of the essential oil blends, but nothing else.

[@lilithsmedicinalmoon2084]

You can use sweet almond oil for sure!

[@ggbice]

I prefer cosmetic grade grapeseed oil. If ur in the US, WALMART sells on line. Grocery store GS oil is for cooking. All carrier oils have pros and cons. Shelf life is important. However, I would not use olive oil. It's too thick, and it has it's own unique scent. I wish that wasn't so, as I always have it to cook with!🙋.

[@shellbell8062]

I have read that it's best to add the essential oils to the bottle first and to let them marinate for about a month before adding the oil; as it makes for a much better smell. Have you heard this?
