How do you mix it? IOW, If I want to make different types of oils with this carrier, how would I do this?New to this &amp; wonder how to separate? Contain

Well I sometimes pour a tiny amount of coconut oil in the palm of my hand and a drop of doterra essential oil and mix then apply it topically. I also buy glass roller ball containers and put it various mixes of doterra essential oils then fill the container to the top with coconut oil. The coconut oil helps tone down the doterra essential oils so I can apply them topically to my sensitive skin and my kids skin. I look for roller ball recipes online like on Pinterest or I ask one of my up lines what they do. I'm not sure what you mean by how to keep separate but you should always keep essential oils in some kind of glass container because it can leach into plastic and the oil will linger. Once you mix the coconut oil with an essential oil I'm not aware of any way to seperate them. hope that helps!

I think you have to order it separately, and I also think there are other oils that can be used - I have a different model/brand (name escapes me at the moment) and the oils came with it.

You can mix this oil with different ones to make lotions. A lot of people will use Shea butter and whip them with different oils that can be used on both skin and hair. It takes a little bit of research for the best combination. Not sure about Perfume, but I'm pretty sure so long as it's diluted. You can look up the difference between essential oils and carrier oils.

I don't know how the oils are extracted. But I bought the set of oils & wish I had purchased oils with a single scent. The mixed scents are rather odd. I say you can use single scents to mix as you please.

its the essential oil ; ) you need a carrier for this -- mind you it has a natural yellow tint to it -- so use at night or use very sparingly and blend well ; ))

Most people will say another carrier oil. something mild not to overpower this oil? I can't say for sure which one would be best? and by what proportion I don't know since I don't dilute my essential oils. but try almond oil, or grape seed oil and mix small batch to get the desired result for what you seek?

The Lemongrass Oil is one of the stronger scents! A little goes a LONG way. I made lotion with it using Shea Butter a while back. I used about 1/4 cup of Shea and whipped it using my mixer then added just a couple drops of oil and whipped again. I smelled it and added another couple drops. My best advice is to make your lotion this way, whip the Shea then add a drop or 2 of oil, smell it and add more a drop or 2 at a time as needed for your personal tastes. ENJOY!

The plastic housing would cause the oils to degrade. I've always wished they would be compatible too! You can mix them with a small amount of water in a dark glass spray bottle and manually diffuse into the room (even water will degrade the oils , so mix in small batches for quicker use)

hmm, i cant tell from these answers if this eo blend is in a carrier oil or not. the answers seem to contradict each other. what is the carrier oil if it is blended with anything. palm, coconut, olive oils?

I usually add on top of that, because by the time it gets that low, I feel like most of the oil has evaporated, but I enjoy mixing the oils any how. If you don't wish to mix the oils, than you do have to waste the water! Also, I don't always have water left in the chamber, and I'm not sure why and when that happens! I love my doTERRA diffuser!

I agree with everyone below. I used to buy a jar of virgin coconut oil and ghee and then I combine the two in a blender, mix well then pour into two Mason jars. Same benefits, but this is way easier if you don't want to go through that process - it's just more convenient. If you don't mind extra steps though you can purchase a jar or each and mix them together.

I've not used this particular brand, but I have used other water soluble oils in the past. A mild petroleum odor seems to be the norm. And the rate or degree of spoilage seems to depend on who makes the stuff. I've solved that problem by mixing only what I need at the time I need it.

I mix this with other oils (of choice) you need only a tinch of Lanolin, say 2 (two) drops of Lanolin to 7-8 drops of carrier oil. I do like for myself (as a body oil) grape seed oil. Different skin takes different oils, just research on which ones soak in to the layers of skin. Limited for the face oil, for myself I find Jojoba oil with a tinch of apricot oil (10 to 2)work well, I mix mine in a 2 ml bottle, dab on face and gently rub in, am in my 60's and this works well for me. Tip: always research to find what is best, do not just take the word of others. Have fun!!

Oil and water do not mix well, but a little dish detergent helps. It will last a while because you don't need alot of it. Note that it is not very viscous until you get above 70 degrees or so. You may need to warm it up a bit to get it to flow well.

Yes, I would use a carrier oil. We like to diffuse in a diffuser. I am not sure of the authenticity being that the oil is listed at a questionable price.

I think if you can dilute it correctly, you'll be ok. It's a very, very strong oil, so it def needs the correct ratio of carrier oil to this. Plant therapy has a dilution chart here: http://essentialoilblogging.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/plant-therapy-dilution-guide.jpg

Coconut oil is good for the skin, so I don't see any reason why you could use it as a carrier. I use olive oil.
