Comprehensive Essential Oil Dilution Chart

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts and should usually be diluted before applying them to the skin. Proper dilution helps reduce the risk of skin irritation while allowing you to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy safely.

This comprehensive essential oil dilution chart provides a quick reference for different dilution percentages and drop amounts when mixing essential oils with carrier oils. It can help beginners and experienced users prepare safe blends for massage oils, skincare, and everyday aromatherapy use.

How to Use This Essential Oil Dilution Chart

To use the chart, first determine the dilution percentage you want to use. For most adults, a 3–5% dilution is commonly used for topical applications, while lower dilutions are recommended for sensitive skin, children, or facial products.

Once you choose the dilution level, follow the chart to see how many drops of essential oil should be added to a specific amount of carrier oil such as sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, or coconut oil.
