How to Dilute
How to Dilute Lemongrass Essential Oil With a Carrier Oil
Diluting lemongrass essential oil for topical use is an easy process. A safe dilution ratio is typically between 1-2% essential oil to carrier oil.
This means mixing approximately 6-12 drops of lemongrass oil with every 30ml of a carrier oil like coconut, almond, or jojoba oil. Thoroughly blend the oils in a dark glass bottle.
For facial use or for sensitive skin, a more diluted mix of about 0.5-1% is advised. Always perform a patch test before applying to your skin.
It's important to perform a patch test on a small skin area before general application to check for any allergic reactions.
