Can I use this essential oil blend directly on my skin without diluting it first?

No, you should not apply this blend undiluted directly to your skin. Essential oils are highly concentrated substances, and the product's own description advises using them "only as directed and avoid applying undiluted unless the manufacturer specifically allows it." For safe skin application, mix a few drops into a carrier oil (like jojoba, sweet almond, or sunflower oil) or an unscented body lotion or cream. A common dilution for general body application is about a 2% concentration, which is roughly 10-12 drops of essential oil per 30 ml (1 oz) of carrier. This creates a safe, aromatic product suitable for a warming chest or neck massage. Undiluted application can cause skin irritation, redness, or a burning sensation, particularly for those with sensitive skin. Always perform a patch test on a small area of your inner arm before a full application to check for any adverse reaction.
