Q

When would you need to dilute essential oils when using them topically?

A

In general, you should dilute most essential oils before using them topically on a baby or small child. And some essential oils such as oregano or cinnamon are “hot” or may irritate the skin when used undiluted, so they should usually be used diluted. Next, it’s best to dilute an essential oil for topical use if it will be used over a large surface area such as in a massage.
