  • 65 – 96 total drops pure essential oil(s) of choice (the dilution: 65 to 96 drops per 8 oz carrier oil)
  • 8 oz organic carrier oil (options : kukui nut, jojoba, sunflower, olive, fractionated MCT coconut, sweet almond, shea nut, calendula herbal oil, arnica herbal oil)
  • 1/2 tsp. Non-GMO Verified vitamin E oil
  • Pump-top bottle label

Equipment

  • glass bottle
  • funnel

Directions

  2. Pour in the carrier oil and vitamin E oil.
  3. Put on the cap and roll the bottle between your palms to mix.
  4. Add a label.

Notes

Roll the bottle between your palms before each use. Shelf life up to 1 year. Tip : for a thicker oil, swap up to 1 oz of the carrier for a heavier oil such as pomegranate or cranberry seed. hemp essential oil has no traceable THC or CBD. Safety: 96 drops in 8 oz is about 2%, an adult-strength blend; use much lower amounts (or none) for children, older adults, pregnancy and sensitive skin; bergamot is phototoxic unless bergapten-free, so avoid sun on treated skin; arnica oil is not for broken skin; sweet almond and kukui are nut concerns; oiled skin makes floors and tubs slippery; keep oils away from pets; not for internal use.
