Essential Oils...Essential?
  • I recently made my own "dry" shampoo, and added to it a few drops of essential oils for scent. My question is how much of the essential oils do I have add to reap the supposed benefits of the oil? I know too much of the oil can cause irritation and dryness, but I assume too little would do little in the way of being more than just a lingering scent. Is there a general formula that works with most EO's, or does it very EO to EO?
  • It depends on which oil you are using and what benefit you're trying to deliver. Remember that most essential oils don't do ANYTHING! They're mainly used to add a scent - so as long as it smells nice you've added enough.
