Diluting oils

Essential oils are concentrated and can burn or sensitize skin. For anything that touches skin, blend about 12 drops of essential oil per ounce (30 ml) of carrier oil, a 2% dilution, and half that for the face or sensitive skin. Candles and tools can take a stronger blend. Patch-test first, keep oils away from eyes, and keep them out of reach of cats, which can't process many of them.
