That is the most common sense approach, as essential oils are powerful solvents, and need to be diluted carefully to avoid problems, even for people with teflon skin. When in doubt, visit an esthetcian (sp?) who has good knowledge of theoils, and learn from them. AFAIK, no book or researcher has ever published that 'no two oils should be blended together' other than to say that for aromachology purposes, (diffusion, massage, etc.)don't mix a relaxing oil with an invigorating one, as you'll cancel the effect you desire.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hey Vicki, Sorry but I have not seen anything being that specific. About all you can do is try.... Take 1 drop each from two oils and put them in an ounce of carrier oil. Then do a skin patch test. Experimenting is all that will help someone with delicate/sensitive skin. For most people with sensitive skin, low doses do not seem to be a problem.

Interesting Question. I've not heard about any that SHOULDN'T be blended together. I HAVE heard of oils that are much better for sensitive skin than others. Some of those being #1 all time best E.O for sensitive skin (ask butch lol) is rose. I LOVE rose. I have delicate and sensitive skin and have never had a problem with rose. Stick to low doses with all E.O.'s and watch out for the more " caustic " oils like the expressed citrus oils and of course from all " No no " oils like clove, cinnimon, birch, etc. Steamed Distilled Citrus don't seem to have the same problem, but I still keep them off my skin, especially my face. The Chamomiles and Lavender are good choices, Sandalwood (from a badly addicted Sandalwood junkee) is always a good choice (for me). Juniper and rosemary are also okay. Use " Lush " carrier oils too, like rosehip, Jojoba. Fractionated Coconut seems to be okay too. I hope that helps a little! Cheers!
