Dilutions
Undiluted lavender oil and tea tree oil may be applied directly to skin, but we recommend diluting all other essential oils, including NSP's synergistic pre-blended oils. This is especially important for first-time users, children and those with sensitive skin.
NSP Massage Oil has been designed as the perfect aromatherapy carrier and massage oil. It is a blend of unscented apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil, hazel nut oil, borage oil, vitamin E and grapefruit seed extract.
Simply mix any essential oil with NSP Massage Oil. Adjust dilution according to the type of essential oil used, response desired or skin reaction experienced.
NSP's Aloe Vera Gel is another excellent carrier for your selected essential oils. Mix one ounce of NSP Aloe Vera Gel with your essential oils or blends and apply to the body. Try massaging this blend into the reflex points of your feet.
We recommend testing essential oils by applying a small amount of diluted essential oil to a selected skin area. If irritation or burning occur, dilute the area with more NSP Massage Oil and discontinue use.
