So, what's the perfect ratio of carrier oil to essential oil? Well, it's not an exact science, but a good rule of thumb is to use about 1-3% essential oil and 97-99% carrier oil. That means if you're using 1 teaspoon of carrier oil, you'd add about 5-15 drops of essential oil. Easy peasy, right?
But, here's the thing: different carrier oils have different personalities, if you will. Some, like coconut oil and jojoba oil, are super nourishing and can be used on their own as a moisturizer. Others, like grapeseed oil and sweet almond oil, are lighter and more easily absorbed into the skin.
