Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I hope I can explain my question correctly; I have an oil-10% jasmine diluted in a carrier-I want to add some to a lotion. Since the jasmine is already diluted how can I figure out what the final dilution of jasmine in the lotion will be once it is added? I'm having a total mental block on figuring this out and maybe a few examples will shake the cobwebs loose! I know I didn't specify a total amount of lotion but that's because I'm just planning something out so a few examples would be helpful.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi Susan, I'll tackle this. But I will also tell you that I work in small amounts. Looking at a typical measurement chart, there are 100 drops in 5 ml. I know measurements vary, but let's use this for the sake of an easy arguement. Okay, 100 drops in 5 ml.. A 10% dilution of 100 drops is 10 drops. That's 10 drops Jasmine plus 90 drops carrier. Now let's add that 5 ml to 4 oz of lotion. 4 oz of lotion is equal to 125 ml, and approx. 2400 drops. In that 130 ml of lotion is 2500 drops total, 10 of which are Jasime. The math formula (10 divided by 2500 times 100) gives us about 0.4% dilution of Jasmine Hope that helps. Cheers, Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
