amber, the only answer to that is 'it depends'... using a different

dropper will give you different drop sizes. the difference in thickness of the

two essential oils listed are going to effect that, as well.

 

in THEORY one ml should be 20 drops, 5 ml = 100 drops = one measuring

teaspoonful or 1/6 fl oz.

 

but that's in theory. I've had blends where 150 drops measured 5

mls... which would have made one ml = 30 drops.

 

perhaps an idea to invest in a set of disposable (or not!) pipettes marked by

the 1/2 ml.???
