Rule of thumb I use:
- **1%** dilution for daily body use (about 6 drops per 30 ml carrier)
- patch test on the inner arm, wait 24 hours
- never apply citrus before sun exposure
Additions welcome — I'd rather this be right than mine.

Would add: jojoba over coconut oil if you break out easily. Closer to skin's own sebum.
0.5% for the face. 1% still got me with cinnamon leaf once and I learned that the hard way.
Worth saying out loud that "natural" and "gentle" are not the same word.
This should be linked from the category description honestly.
Updated the post with the jojoba note. Keep them coming.
