Hello Eve, I’ve been doing a lot of online searching for information since I am just getting started. Your site is extremely helpful. I do have a question about dilution that I haven’t seen anywhere. Do all essential oils count equally in the % solution number of EO drops to carrier oils? I’m curious if the milder ones like Lavender (can be applied directly to bug bites?) need to be counted as much as the other more potent or irritating oils.
Also, what is your opinion of Pennyroyal?
Thank you for all the wonderful information you have posted.

In reply to CMar. for oral health, dilution is 0.5% to 1%. in terms of essential oil, peppermint, tea trea and cinnamon are great choice. Clove can be irritant so use with caution.

this is awesome! i am just wondering if you have any recommendations for AHA and other types of acids in face oils.

Super useful post, thank you! What dilution do you recommend for an oral wellness blend (including peppermint, eucalyptus + almond oil as carrier)? Would it be safe to add clove and tea tree to that as well? I would use it on an interdental brush and/or in addition to toothpaste. Thank you.
