🍸 Alcohol – For sprays, perfumes and light preparations

Alcohol is an excellent carrier for essential oils in all liquid and non-oily preparations, such as sprays, perfumes and deodorants. It promotes good dispersion of the essential oil in the aqueous phase.

🥂 Food alcohol (95° or vodka ≥ 40°)

Safe for the skin and, if necessary, also for internal use (only with suitable oils). It is the ideal base for: Natural Perfumes, Roll on, Body and Face Sprays, Oral Preparations.
👉 Recommended dilution:
Mix 10–20 drops of essential oil in 10 ml of food-grade alcohol, shake well, then add up to 40 ml of water or hydrolate, if desired.

🧴 Denatured ethyl alcohol (technical use)

Not suitable for skin contact or ingestion. Use only for environmental use , for example: Room and Fabric Sprays, Surface Sanitizers, Shoe, Wardrobe, Car Deodorizers.
👉 Recommended dilution:
Mix 10–30 drops of essential oil in 100 ml of denatured ethyl alcohol. Shake well before use. You can add water or hydrolate until you get the desired consistency.

🟢 When to use alcohol as a solubilizer?

• When you want a non-greasy , light and quick-absorbing product
• If you need to vaporize or create hydroalcoholic formulations
• When the oil base is not suitable (e.g. in summer or for oily skin)

🥥 Vegetable oils – The ideal base for the skin

Vegetable oils are the safest and most natural solubilizer for applying essential oils to the skin. They have a protective function, improve absorption and reduce the risk of irritation.

👉 Dilution instructions
Always mix essential oil with a plant-based. Generally:

• 1-2% for face or daily use
• 3-5% for massage or localized areas (e.g. 2-5 drops in 10 ml of vegetable oil)

🟢 When to prefer them?
When you apply essential oil to your skin (face, body, massage, roll-on, compresses). They are also ideal for children and sensitive people.

🧂 Salt – For baths
aromatics, foot baths and natural scrubs
Salt is an excellent vehicle for dispersing oils
essential in water. Thanks to its crystalline structure, it “absorbs” the drops
and facilitates their diffusion, preventing them from remaining concentrated on the surface.
👉 How to use
Mix 5–10 drops of essential oil with 1 tablespoon of coarse or fine salt (preferably whole or Dead Sea). Then add it to your bath water, foot bath, or scrub.

🟢 When to prefer it?

• In relaxing or revitalising aromatic baths
• For anti-fatigue foot baths
• In toning or purifying body scrubs (salt + vegetable oil + EO)

⚠️ Not suitable for broken or damaged skin
very sensitive, especially if using raw sea salt.

🍎 Vinegar – For hair, laundry and natural hygiene
Vinegar (preferably apple cider vinegar or plain white vinegar) is a useful vehicle for integrating essential oils into cleansing, deodorizing, or rinsing preparations. It helps to rebalance the pH, refresh, and neutralize odors.

👉 How to use
Mix 5–10 drops of essential oil in 100 ml of vinegar. Shake well before
of use.
You can also combine it with water to dilute further (e.g. 1 part vinegar + 3
of water).

🟢 When to prefer it?

• As a hair shine rinse (apple cider vinegar + lavender EO, ​​ylang ylang...)
• In natural fabric softeners (white vinegar + lemon or tea tree EO)
• As a dishwasher rinse aid, add a few drops of Lemon EO
• For multipurpose sanitizing and limescale remover sprays

⚠️ Not indicated for direct use
on delicate skin or if there are lesions. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

🧴 Neutral creams – For face and body

Neutral creams are cosmetic bases without perfume or active ingredients, perfect for incorporating essential oils in a practical and safe way, especially for daily topical use.

👉 How to use them
Add 1–3 drops of essential oil to 1 teaspoon of cream (about 5 ml) and mix well.

🟢 When to prefer them?

• customized face creams (e.g. lavender for sensitive skin, tea tree for impure skin)
• tailor-made body creams (e.g. arnica and mint for muscle pain)
  

⚠️ Use organic and fragrance-free creams. Not suitable for diffusion or ingestion.

🌿 Natural Gels – Freshness and Lightness

Pure aloe gel is a light, refreshing and skin-friendly base. Great for incorporating essential oils into post-sun, after-shave, anti-itch or soothing preparations.

👉 How to use
Mix 1–2 drops of essential oil with 1 teaspoon of aloe gel. Add a few drops of vegetable glycerin if needed for a softer texture.

🟢 When to prefer it?

• irritated or sensitive skin
• light base for summer
  

⚠️ Not all oils dissolve well in gels: shake well before use or add a drop of vegetable oil or glycerin.

💧 Vegetable Glycerin – Sweetness and Solubility

Vegetable glycerin is a thick, clear, slightly sweet liquid that is great for dispersing essential oils in water and improving skin tolerance. It also has humectant and skin-soothing properties.

👉 How to use
Mix 2–3 drops of essential oil with 1 teaspoon of glycerin. Shake well, then add to the aqueous phase (e.g. water, hydrolate) and shake again.

🟢 When to prefer it?

• Customized moisturizing gels (with aloe or panthenol)
  

⚠️ Do not ingest. Do not use pure in large quantities on the skin: it can dehydrate.

🍯 Honey – For internal use and aromatic rituals

Honey is a natural and safe vehicle for dispersing essential oils intended for internal use (only if approved) or for creating aromatic preparations to be taken with hot or warm drinks. It helps make the oil more digestible and distribute it better in liquids.

👉 How to use
Mix 1 drop of essential oil in 1 teaspoon of honey. You can take the mixture directly or dissolve it in warm water, herbal teas or vegetable milk.

🟢 When to prefer it?

• oral use of certified food essential oils (e.g. lemon, fennel, mint...)

• practicality and safety in a mix

⚠️ The final product should always be shaken before use. Do not use oils not suitable for internal use if you plan to ingest them.

🪨 Clay – For face masks, compresses and dry foot baths

Clay is an ideal natural vehicle for absorbing and conveying essential oils in purifying, soothing or remineralizing treatments for the face, body and scalp. It also acts as an absorbent base in deodorants or dry powders.

👉 How to use
Mix 1–2 drops of essential oil with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil or honey, then combine with clay (white, green, pink…) with water or hydrolate until it forms a paste. Never apply essential oil directly to dry clay.

🟢 When to prefer it?

• face masks for oily or impure skin
• localized compresses (joints, scalp)
• dry foot baths or to perfume the wardrobe
  

⚠️ Avoid using on very dry or sensitive skin without an oily base. Always use non-metallic tools.
