Understanding Blend Proportions

Blending Tips for Beginners

Start Small

Begin with small batches when experimenting. This allows you to adjust proportions without wasting precious oils.

Keep Notes

Document your blends, including exact drop counts and your impressions. This helps you recreate successful combinations.

Test First

Always test a small amount of any new blend before using it extensively. Check for any skin sensitivity or unwanted reactions.

Safety First

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts and should be used with care. Always follow dilution guidelines, especially when using blends topically. Most blends should be diluted in a carrier oil at a ratio of 2-3% essential oil to carrier oil for safe skin application.

When diffusing, ensure your space is well-ventilated, and be mindful of household members who may have sensitivities. Some oils are not safe for use around pets, particularly cats, so always check the safety checklist before using any blend.
