Important Information
Essential oils are NOT all created equal
Most companies would have you believe that as long as an essential oil is 100% pure therapeutic grade, it is the best you can get. This is not true. There are other huge factors that go into obtaining a true high quality essential oil and they are, more often than not, overlooked.

Essential Oil Safety
Essential oils should never be put on the skin undiluted. There are exceptions, but as a general rule, it is safer to mix them with a carrier oil such as coconut or olive oil first. Most essential oils will burn your skin if applied neat (undiluted and straight from the bottle).
Essential oils being applied to the skin should be diluted in a 0.1 – 5% solution. Babies should never have a solution over 1%. It takes approximately 20 drops of essential oil to make 1ml. To make this easier, I will explain this in drops.
1 tsp of carrier oil (5ml) + 5 drops of essential oil = 5% solution
1 tsp of carrier oil (5ml) + 1 drop of essential oil = 1% solution
50ml of carrier oil + 5 drops of essential oil = 0.5% solution
50ml of carrier oil +1 drop of essential oil = 0.1% solution
