When might I consider a 2% dilution?

A 2% dilution is commonly used as a general safety guideline for daily topical use in healthy adults without known sensitivities or specific health considerations. This dilution provides aromatic and topical support while remaining within widely accepted safety guidelines for routine use. Individual response can vary, and starting with a lower dilution may be more appropriate for some individuals.

Essential oils are very concentrated substances and should be used thoughtfully and with safety precautions in mind. Using essential oils neat (undiluted) or at levels above recommended dilution rates can significantly increase the risk of skin irritation and sensitization.
