information request: percent usage for base oils and butters

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

I'm just beginning my venture into making balms, butters,

lotions, and massage oils, and am seeking information on

percentage usages of various base and carrier oils.

 

Does anyone know of a good reference book or

other resource which identifies which oils can be

safely used 100% (ie for massage oils or balm bases) and

which ones (if any) must be used in smaller concentrations?

 

Thanks very much,

 

Holly

You don't run into the same issues with carrier oils like you do

essential oils. More you'll come across " what properties " do you want

from you oils and butters, over what can or can't be used on the skin

unblended or " undiluted " .
