How to Dilute
How to Dilute Geranium Essential Oil With a Carrier Oil
Diluting geranium essential oil is an easy process. A safe dilution ratio for topical use generally falls between 1-2% essential oil to carrier oil.
This equates to adding roughly 6-12 drops of geranium oil to every 30ml of a carrier oil, such as jojoba, almond, or coconut oil. Blend the oils well in a dark glass bottle to maintain their quality and potency.
For application on the face or for those with sensitive skin, a lighter dilution of about 0.5-1% is advisable.
Always conduct a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying it more broadly to check for any allergic reactions to the oil.
