What is the correct dilution for essential oils in the bath?
For adults, aim for a 1–4% dilution.
That means approximately:
• 5–20 drops of essential oil per tablespoon (15ml) of carrier oil
If you’re new to essential oils, sensitive-skinned, or using florals like rose or ylang ylang, stay at the lower end (1-3 drops in carrier oil).
Children, pregnancy, and medical conditions require additional caution – always research specific oils before use.
