OIL CONVERSION CHART

This is not exact, but a good rule of thumb

oz ml tbsp tsp drops

1oz 1 30 2 6 600

1tbsp 1/2 15 1 3 300

1tsp 1/6 5 1/3 1 100

1ml 1/30 1 1/15 1/5 20

1dr 1/8 3.7 1/16 1/48 75

DILUTION %'s FOR MASSAGE OILS

( using your choice of carrier oil )

10% dilution for 1oz bottle = .10 x 600 = 60 drops EO

for 1/2oz bottle = .10 x 300 = 30 drops EO

5% dilution for 1oz bottle = .05 x 600 = 30 drops EO

for 1/2oz bottle = .05 x 300 = 15 drops EO

4% dilution for 1oz bottle = .04 x 600 = 24 drops EO

for 1/2oz bottle = .04 x 300 = 12 drops EO

This formula can be figured for any size bottle and of course any % of dilution. Use single EO or a blend of EO's

example

5% dilute for 4oz bottle = .05 x 2400 = 120 drops EO

for 16oz bottle = .05 x 9600 = 480 drops EO

Candle & Soap Making Tips

Most soap recipes give directions on amount of EO or FO to add, but a good rule of thumb is to never excede 2% of total recipe for body products such as soaps, lotions, ect. Max on most of our oils for body products is .07%.

The practiced rule of thumb for candle making is 1oz of EO or FO per lb of wax. But this is usually using inferior oils, as we've found using our quality oils requires only half the amount. Of course you can add more if your looking for a super strong candle throw. Tip: if your trying to achieve that mollted look when making candles 2 to 3 tsp of mineral oil can be added per lb of wax. Make sure to add Vybar so your candles arent too soft and to help throw the scent better.
