Because Essential Oils have low molecular weights and are lipid soluble, they easily penetrate the skin. Once absorbed, they stay in the applied area for a localized benefit.
Use several small doses throughout the day rather than a single large dose. Start with the lowest possible dose (1–2 drops). A topical dose can be repeated every 4–6 hours as needed. The dose will vary for each individual.
Always use a carrier oil to dilute your topical oils, to avoid longterm sensitization. One drop of EO to three drops of carrier oil(ie: avocado oil or olive oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil). A carrier oil helps carry the oil into your skin and saves you money.
