Hi Everyone,
I'm having a "Brain Freeze" moment! :lol:

I know I have seen this many times, but I can't find it now.

I want to add 3% FO to 4 ounces. What is the formula for this?

Is it about 28 drops?

I can't remember and I don't seem to be able to find it.

Thanks so much

I just googled "3% of 4oz"

I have all mine written down so can't help you there. I worked it out 6 months ago so can't remember lol. I work with grams because I suck at counting drops.

I just need to find it!

Hi, I finally found the link to calculating percentages if you want the formula itself: This is especially useful when you venture into CP or lotion-making. I like to calculate things myself so I keep my math skills (and brain) sharp.
