    Diluting Essential Oils

    NOW is committed to offering the purest and most potent essential oils available. With a
    toxicologist on staff and strict quality standards and testing methods in place, we strive to
    offer the highest quality essential oils.
    Our skincare/carrier oils are the best value on the market. Utilizing both our essential
    oils (EOs) and carrier oils, you can make your own skin and body care products for a
    fraction of the price of luxury brands (with the same or better quality!). Get started today
    with our topical application guidelines below.

    TOPICAL DILUTION GUIDELINES:


    • When mixing different scents, make sure to stick to the drop ratio in the chart above. For instance, if you need 8 drops for a
    mixture and you want to use 2 different oils, you would use 4 drops of one oil and 4 drops of the other (or whatever scent
    ratio you like as long as the total drops don’t exceed 8).
    • Always start small with the number of essential oil drops and increase to the dilution ratio as desired.
    • These recommended dilutions are for adults 18 and older. Please talk to your health practitioner before using essential oils with
    children and teens, or when pregnant or nursing.
    • We do not recommend using dilutions above 5% in topical applications. Ten percent is typical of a perfume but not
    recommended for all-over skin application.
    • Percentages may vary based on the essential oil and application. Essential oils require dilution for topical usage. Do not use
    undiluted essential oils on your skin.

    NOW ® essential oils should never be ingested. Please consult an essential oil book or other professional reference source for suggested dilution ratios.
    When in doubt, approve by a licensed practitioner before use.
