I am making massage oil for a craft fair I’ll be working at next weekend. I’m using grapeseed oil as my base and would like to make the following scented oils:
Vanilla Cinnamon
Lavender (or Lavender Lime, whichever ends up smelling best)
Rosemary Mint
I have been able to find some ratios for the last two, but not the Vanilla Cinnamon. Any help would be so appreciated! If you happen to know ratios for the other two, that would be great as well.
Thanks!
I assume you are using Cinnamon leaf. Although not as ‘hot’ as the essential oil from the bark, you still need to dilute Cinnamon leaf eo quite a bit. I would suggest no more than 3% of the blend be Cinnamon leaf eo. It will blend easily with the base oil. The Vanilla, on the other hand, will be a challenge to blend because it is nearly solid. You will need to heat it and the base oil and agitate while cooling to prevent the Vanilla from dropping out.
Good idea and good luck. A suggestion… Lavender and Rosemary go surprisingly well together.
