Diffusion
A 2% dilution is the standard safe concentration for body application. This guide shows how to blend Frankincense Serrata with Jojoba Golden for a daily body oil.
Step-by-step guide
01
Calculate your dilution
A 2% dilution means 2 drops of essential oil per 100 drops (5ml) of carrier oil. For a 30ml bottle, you need 12 drops of essential oil.
02
Measure the carrier oil
Pour 30ml of Jojoba Golden into a clean, dark glass bottle. Jojoba is technically a liquid wax, which means it has an indefinite shelf life and will not go rancid.
03
Add the essential oil
Add 12 drops of Frankincense Serrata. Cap the bottle and invert gently 5 times to blend. Do not shake vigorously.
04
Label with the date
Write the blend date on the bottle. Blended oils should be used within 12 months for best potency.
05
Apply to clean skin
Apply 3 to 5 drops to the target area after showering. Press into the skin rather than rubbing. The blend absorbs within 2 minutes.
Tips
- —Dark glass bottles prevent UV degradation of the essential oil.
- —Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- —Frankincense Serrata is particularly effective on dry or mature skin.
Safety Notes
Always dilute essential oils before applying to skin. Do not apply undiluted essential oils directly. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
