How much will this recipe make using the minimum size of the ingredients? I first want to make a test batch and just want to be sure I order enough to at least make up one bottle for my own use to test. Will this make up,100ml, 50ml or 30 ml or less?

Morning, same problem as previous comment – 22% etc of camelina oil? 22% of what? I’m probably missing something here, but can you clarify or simplify this for me into drops or mls, or even teaspoons or whatever. Thanks.

“The recipe will make as much or as little as you want. Simply decide on the total weight of product that you wish to make then work out how much each percentage will weigh.
It is important to weigh each ingredient as this is the most accurate method of measuring them. Working in percentages means you can easily increase or decrease a batch weight as long as you keep the percentage of the ingredients the same.
We often use an online percentage calculator such as this to work out the weights.
