Dont worry, I had thought of that.Professor Blighty said:The ratio of essential oils is set here to a maximum of one drop of essential oil to one mil of carrier oil. Any more essential oils than that and they won't disperse properly in the carrier fluid. Therefore, if you wish to add more essential oils you must either:-
subtract the same amount of drops from the recommended essential oils in the recipe, or
increase by the same amount of mils the base oil first.
Father Ted said:For the Normal Skin Oil Mix, (for those struggling with where to go) a quick search of ebay finds:-
100ml Almond carrier = £2.15
30ml Lavender Oil = £3.75
30ml Clary Sage Oil = £3.75
30ml Ylang Ylang Oil = £3.14
So less than £20 gets you nearly 200mls of oil - which at a few drops a day will last forever!

Someone forgot to mention the preservative system you would need for that. I'm no fan of parabens, but they are definitely better than pathogens.Take the basic recipe for a skin type as given above, add to that 15 ml of witch hazel and 75 ml of aloe vera gel, stir well, then using an electric hand whisk, whisk to a smooth cream. You now have a wonderful hand and foot cream for that skin type.
