Maker's Tools
The measuring math of the maker's bench — dilutions, batch scaling, and salve ratios — worked out for you.
Dilution & Drops
How many drops of essential oil for your container and strength.
A drop is a convention, not a precise unit — it varies with the oil and the dropper. For batches over 100 mL, measure the essential-oil volume shown instead of counting drops.
Batch Scaler
Your recipe makes one amount — you need another. Every ingredient, rescaled.
Aromatics and strong flavours don't always scale in a straight line — when scaling up 4× or more, start with 75–80% of the scaled amount of any potent ingredient and adjust to taste or nose.
Salve Hardness
Beeswax-to-oil ratio, from a soft spoonable salve to a solid lotion bar.
Test before you pour the whole batch: drop a teaspoon of the melted mix on a cold plate, let it set two minutes, and check the texture. More wax = harder; more oil = softer. Ratios are by weight.
