Application and dosage essential oils
As they are strong (you need 30 flowers for a drop of rose oil) essential oils must be used carefully. They are highly concentrated and can’t be used on their own.Tea and lavender oils are the only exception that can be used on skin in small amounts.
Dosage (approximately):
- Creams, body lotions and massage oils 0.5-2%
- Shower gels, bath foams, shampoo 1%
- Bath oils and foams (those who aren’t too sensitive may use them in higher doses) 1.5-2%
- Sun cream (careful) 0.2%
- Air diffusers 1%
- Fragrance lamps (depends on the size of the room, if big even 15 drops) 5-10 drops.
