Basil Oil Uses and Starter Formulations for Startups and Learners

Use levels, choosing the type and 6 practical formulas for hair oil, massage oil, soap, room spray, diffuser blend and fragrance blend

• Students and learners in aromatherapy, perfumery, soap making and personal care.
• Small manufacturers testing products at 100 g to 1 kg scale before bulk production.
• Why basil: a fresh, green, herbal aroma that lifts blends and stands out from common lavender and citrus products.
• All formulas are given in % w/w and grams, so they scale up easily. 1% = 1 g in a 100 g batch.

Use the linalool type for all leave-on skin and hair products, and keep the methyl chavicol type for rinse-off and home products. Always weigh oils, patch test, and keep away from eyes, children and pregnant women.
