Notes:
1ml of essential oil - 20 - 40 drops (Svoboda et al 2001). We use the average of 30 drops
Did you know Jewellery Scales are a great way of weighing essential oils?
As the amount of essential oil that we want to weight is generally very little, Jewellery scales are a great way to weigh out your orders and can be very affordable on sites such as ebay
