Hi Bree,

It would be sort of difficult to dilute EO in a powder .. but still

there is a matter of the percentage of EO vs volume of the base. In

addition to dilution (strength) is the issue of frequency of use. The

more often we use any EO the more chance we have for sensitization.

 

If you (or the one who wrote the formula) don't know the safe dilution

for the essential oils used .. there is cause for worry. Odds are that

the one who wrote the formula is doing what many folks in this industry

are doing .. passing along information they know little about .. we see

daily recipes for this and that and the majority of those sending the

recipes have not used them - they're just passing them along.

 

My recommendation has always been that .. if we're gonna do anything

with an Essential Oils besides sniff it or diffuse it .. then we need to

know the proven safe dilution .. either that or guess and keep our

fingers crossed. Plant Aromatics provides the information we need.
