Special care needs to be taken when working with essential oils and aromatherapy. Pure undiluted essential oils are very potent and some can cause harm if used improperly. For example, approximately 3 pounds of lavender flowers produce just 15mL of lavender essential oil and more than 10,000 pounds of rose petals distill just one pound of rose oil. Most aromatherapists agree that lavender essential oil is the only oil that can safely be applied to the skin neat, or undiluted. All other oils need to be blended with a carrier oil. A carrier oil can be coconut, almond, jojoba or even olive oil. The carrier oil disperses and dilutes the essential oil enough so it can safely be applied to the skin for the maximum therapeutic benefit. I’ve included a handy chart below for your reference.
