Applying essential oils
The general rule is that essential oils should never be applied to the skin undiluted. This is definately the safest approoach and true for 99.9% of essential oils.
 
There are two oils which (with careful use) can be use safely on the skin - in small volumes. These two oils are:
Lavender
Tea Tree
 
​All other oils should be used within a 'carrier', this could be a base oil, a cream or lotion, gel, butter, or being added to bath salts etc.
 
When adding essential oils to a base, work on 1% essential oil to 99% base/carrier.
20 drops of essential oil (when using a standard dropper insert) is equivalent to 1ml. Therefore if you are making up 100ml of product, with a 1% strength then you will require 1ml (20 drops) of essential oil. If its 50ml of product, then its 0.5ml or 10 drops.
