Notes

  • This recipe uses a 5% dilution rate, suitable for short-term use (less than 2 weeks at a time)
  • For everyday use, reduce to a 2% dilution (6 drops total essential oil per 10 ml)
  • Always use high-quality, 100% pure essential oils — look for brands that provide third-party GC/MS testing
  • Not suitable for children under 6 years. Always use lower dilution rates and age-appropriate oils for children
  • Avoid applying near the eyes or on broken skin
  • Store in a cool, dark place. Use within 1–2 years
