Drip or Drop? Understanding the Difference in Essential Oil Blending

EO Basics!

A quick FYI post to show you that there is indeed a difference between dripping and dropping when making blends.   Either method is fine, just be consistent with one or the other.  However, one of these methods is preferred over the other; I'll show you why...

Have you ever made blends and ended up scratching your head because the level of oil in your bottle is different every time?  The drip/drop choice might be why.  When blending, use a glass dropper with every oil for consistency.  

Dripping Vs Dropping:

Dripping

straight from the bottle's drip orifice will give you a larger, less consistent recipe.

{We've all had the frustration of watching EOs drip too fast or too slow from the bottle...argh!}

 Dropping

using a glass dropper will give you a truer recipe (CW recipes).

by the way...

It's not necessary to put a dropper on every bottle of EO you own, wash droppers and bottles in hot, soapy water between use!
