I had a Question asked on this Video on YouTube from Shane Cole who has the Channel On YouTube:

Shane’s Hobby Shop
Shane asked this question:

And Here is My Answer To Shane’s Question:

Great Question Shane!! Let me Explain Further for you: Using Essential Oils in a combination is just like using lots of ingredients when cooking a meal. Many herbs and spices, for an example say to make Lasagna, add a depth of flavor the meal, making it more memorable. If you JUST use BASIL for an example, the dish would be OK in flavor, but very one note and you just would not have that WOW factor. Where, if I add Basil, Oregano and Garlic, for an example, your mouth would taste the depth of flavor and the combination together will make your Lasagna be more memorable. So, with Essential Oils, it is very much the same thing. Yes, you CAN use just one simple Essential Oil. Many ppl do, and for many that would be TEA TREE OIL. This is powerhouse oil. An Antibacterial and it would also help make it difficult for the fly’s and bugs to want to come around. Saying that, often ppl do NOT like the odor that comes from using Tea Tree Oil. So, even though it WORKS, it isn’t the most ideal for making the one using it a pleasant experience. So, now add in some Peppermint, Lemon Oil, Cinnamon Oil and Rosemary Oil just to state a few. Now your combined oils would add another element of strength as well as be very pleasing to the one making the combination as well as others who use the product later will have a more enjoyable experience. This is why I stated in the Video that the Essential Oils Used are what I would like to use, but you at home can feel free to use a different blend, or just use Tea Tree Oil. What is MOST important is that you use a blend of oils in a SAFE manner according to a Dilution Rate that works for you and your project at hand. I can use 10 Essential Oils, or ONE Essential Oils but I MUST use Caution when using the drops and take care to use a SAFE Dilution Rate. I talk in the Video that babies can only handle 3 to 4 Drops per Liquid Ounce, where A HEALTHY Adult can handle 15 drops to 60 drops per liquid ounce it is added to. Now, this would be per say if I were making a Massage Blend or Hand Cream. I mean, I am in a way, I am making a Wood Finish that is ALSO A Hand Cream. But The END PRODUCT For My DIY was meant to first be a wood finish, and then secondary be a Hand Cream. So yes, one must make sure to KNOW who will be using the product that is made and for what. If I give this Wood Finish to A woodworker that uses the finish on a cracker platter or a potato bin, that is great, but many ppl would have access to these items. This is why in the video I talk about being safe and I made the Wood Finish Hand Cream SAFE with a diluted amount of essential oils that are SAFE enough for a baby to be around. And if it is used as a Hand Cream, the Hand Cream is NOW SAFE enough to be used on children all the way up to Adults. Of course one would still need to consider if they are allergic to essential oils and if so then they should NOT use the hand cream. But if you KNOW that the only person who will be using this Wood Finish and Hand Cream is your Dad, per say, for his cracked hands from working in his Wood Shop…then by all means feel free to add in some extra essential oil if out would like. But if he wanted to USE the cream for projects, then I say its better to think SAFETY and make sure to add a diluted rate of Essential Oils due to the fact that ANYBODY could end up touching the wood project that he has created. So ya, great Question That came from Shane. And I thank Shane for his Comment!! If anybody would like to check out HIS CHANNEL…Here is the Link cause Shane has some Great Things Happening over there:
