Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Ok folks, (Chris, Butch) I'm so challenged when it come to %'s of EO's to use. I want something that will keep the gnats, mosquito's and flies off my dogs and the inside of their ears. I have FCO has my carrier oil, but when you say use 5-6% Catnip 3-4% Lemon Eucalyptus How does this mean???? 5-6% equates out to how much for say a 4 ounce bottle If either of you would please take me from square one to the end I would be forever grateful. Blessings to you, Janet ><((((º>·´¯`·:.· ><((((º>¸¸.·´¯`><((((º> Meadowyck, Artistic Body Essentials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hi Janet, yes, all these numbers can be tricky! I've found that the easiest way to do it is break it down into easy numbers. 4 oz = 120 ml 1% of 120 is 1.2 1.2 x 5 = 6 So 6 ml is 5% of 120 ml (or 4 oz) I hope that helps *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com On Behalf Of Janet Matherly Ok folks, (Chris, Butch) I'm so challenged when it come to %'s of EO's to use.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Oh YES! I forgot to mention that - you want 120 ml TOTAL - which is 114 ml of carrier plus 6 ml of EO ... I will try to get this kind of info into the files section ... or if anyone else wants to volunteer ... *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com On Behalf Of rastapoodle , " Christine Ziegler " <chrisziggy@e...> wrote: > Hi Janet, > > yes, all these numbers can be tricky! > > I've found that the easiest way to do it is break it down into easy > numbers. > > 4 oz = 120 ml > 1% of 120 is 1.2 > 1.2 x 5 = 6 > So 6 ml is 5% of 120 ml (or 4 oz) But, don't forget to subtract the 6 m. from the 120 ml and only use 114 ml of carrier, yes? http://naturalperfumery.com (a list mom who thinks stuff like this would be great to put up in the Files section for quick reference, and NO, Chris, I don't volunteer, since I just fulfilled one of your volunteer requests, LOL, but if somebody does get a great math chart/reference together, i wouldn't mind alittle cross-group pollination.)
