Oral syringes for an accurate dilution tool.
Decanting, blending, safety, dilutions.
As more and
more oils are found to have a maximum safe dilution rate, I began looking for a
simple, inexpensive way to ensure safe dilutions.
My solution is oral syringes. I have them in 3 sizes for measuring and
transferring the various ingredients for liquid blends. The ones I use the most are the 1 ml size
marked to 0.1 ml. I use the 5 ml and 10
ml for carrier oils primarily and not EOs.
I LOVE them. They are
simple to use. The ones with black lines
are easy to read (compared to my 5 ml one with pale blue) and take the worry
out of measuring and diluting. If the
max dermal rate is 0.5% and I am making a 10 ml roller, the math is
EASY!!. No more counting drops or
waiting for a thick oil to drip.
For Carriers, some I use at 10% so if I am mixing up 1 oz, I
pull up 3 ml of carrier to put in the bottle; Simple, effective and less
mess.
If you wish to reuse them be sure to avoid any with
rubber. I do reuse mine when blending
for my family if it was a thin oil I measured, like lemon. Take apart and soak in alcohol, then run
through the dishwasher in a mess bag.
For thick oils, I through them away.
This is similar to the pipettes but for me, more accurate, less wasteful
and easier to see.
