Working With and Blending Thick Aromatic Oils 2 Empty Working With and Blending Thick Aromatic Oils 2

Marge Clark is founder and President of Nature's Gift essential wholesale and is one of AromaWeb's largest advertisers and supporters. Marge wholesale essential oilis an expert in working with precious, rare and thick absolutes, CO2s and other aromatic oils. I asked her wholesale essential oils for her input in compiling tips in working with solid/thick oilsessential oil wholesale , and she happily shared some especially helpful tidbits:
Heat thick essential oils wholesale oils in warm water. Mentally imagine how baby bottles wholesale natural oils are gently warmed. If you are planning to blend the oil with a carrier essential oil company oil, be sure to also warm the carrier oil. "Plunking a warm dollop of, let's wholesale aromatherapy say Calendula Total into cold jojoba gives you jojoba with a blob of CO2 in it."
Marge discovered wholesale herbal extract that using a triple boiler heating method rather than just using a double export essential oils boiler helps, especially when heating a tiny bottle. Marge recommends placing essential oils wholesale the small bottle in a custard cup or tea cup with a small bit of warm water. Then set the small cup into a larger container of hot water.
Even when wholesale organic oils warmed, it's usually not possible or accurate to measure thick oils by the drop. Marge lavender oil wholesale and I both measure thick oils by weight using a scale that weighs by the gram. Digital postal jojoba oil wholesale scales are one option if you happen to have one that measures in grams, but I tend not to use that type of scale for measuring tiny quantities. I prefer mint oil wholesale more accuracy, and use a pocket digital scale that can measure in fractions of a gram (I believe more formally referred to as centigrams and decigrams). Amazon.com sells digital pocket scales, including the American Weigh linalool wholesale Precision Digital Pocket Scale that has good reviews and is priced at $18.99 (at the time of this writing). [Sidenote: If this scale becomes discontinued, you can search Amazon.com wholesale chemical products for other scales by using the search term gram scales.] Whatever scale you choose, be sure it has a tare function that lets you add an chemical suppliers empty container and then set the scale to zero to then only weight what you put into the wholesale chemical compounds container.
Marge mentions that when diluting thicker oils in large aromatic chemical amounts, it is sometimes better to add a tiny bit of the warmed carrier to the warmed (but still semi-solid) oil, stir until essential oil supplier blended, add another dollop and repeat. She adds that her process is not much unlike making a sauce in her kitchen.
Almost every absolute will dilute better in alcohol than in a carrier oil, and particular oils including some beeswax and cocoa absolutes will never dilute in carrier oils.
Marge also uses a warming tray. A warming tray is generally used to keep foods warm at a buffet table.
It happens to all of us that use thicker CO2s and absolutes: We have dropped, dripped and/or scooped out as much of the oil as we can, but we know there's still a tad more left in the bottle. Using Marge's techniques above, you can add alcohol or carrier oil (depending on the method of extraction) to the nearly empty bottle. and then enjoy using those last few drops by way of the dilution that you just created.
If you are in doubt or are having trouble working with a particular oil, contact the company that you purchased the oil from. They are most familiar with the particular oil that you purchased and should be quite experienced at working with it.
