I was wondering if someone would like to give me recipes for oily, dry & normal skintypes to go in these 50ml containers. To the base oil how many drops of essential oils should I use. regards K x Kerri Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2006 10:45 AM   Hi Kerri, I have referred to "The Fragrant Pharmacy" by Valerie Ann Worwood. This book is available from New Directions and leading book stores. On page 159 you will find a range of different blends. The pre-portions are usually 30ml of base oil to 30 drops or essential, depending on the essential oils used and the client. I use more base oil when blending, so I beleive this blend in 50ml base oil is fine. People who are sick and/or elderly and children- reduce the amount of essential oils by half, if they are on medication, it is best to consult their treating doctor first. Dry to normal skin base oil, choose from the following: almond, avocado, wheatgerm, olive oil, apricot kernel, soya bean Essential oil blend to add to 30 ml of base oil German Chamomile-15 drops Sandalwood-5 drops Bios de rose-5 drops Hyssop- 5 drops For additional benefits add 10 drops evening primrose oil and 2 drops carrot oil Oily to normal skin base oil, choose from the following: almond, hazelnut, apricot, grapeseed Essential oil blend to add to base oil Juniper- 8 drops Geranium-10 drops Lemon-10 drops Rosemary-2 drops For additional benefits add 10 drops carrot oil Enjoy Creating!
