How Much Product Will My Oils Make?


One question I get a lot is, how long will a bottle of oil last? How many products can I make with my oils?

Here's the math:

One bottle of oil has approximately 450 drops in it. (We know this because we counted out every drop in every bottle of oil in the designer kit and averaged them. Some oils have fatter, thicker, fewer drops and some have smaller, thinner drops.)

A parfum spray needs 150 drops of scent; the lotion, shower gel and bubble bath need 50 drops of scent. Therefore, one bottle of oil will create approximately 3 parfum sprays or 9 of the other products. Or in a warmer, anywhere from 90 to 225 uses, depending on how strong you like your scent.

If your recipe had a 1 to 1 to 1 ratio, a set of 3 oils would make 9 parfum sprays or 27 of the other products. Of course, very few recipes have a 1:1:1 ratio so you'll need to replace some oils more often than others.
