Believe it or not, I was actually really good at math growing up. I was even really good at math in my professional career. But enter mom brain and a few too many years out of the game and I can barely muster up enough math chops to figure out how old I am each year.
So when I found myself asking how many drops are in each bottle of essential oil, I froze. Naturally I did try to figure it out mathematically… but it wasn’t easy, so let’s spare you the time and effort, friend. Thankfully, my Young Living team is full of friends with far more knowledge than me, so getting to the bottom of this question wasn’t that difficult.
Whether you’re trying to figure out how long each bottle of essential oil is going to last, or if you’re trying to calculate how many bottles of essential oil you need for certain DIYs, you’re in the right place.
Yes, we’ll definitely cover the approximate number of drops in each bottle of essential oil. But keep in mind Young Living sells two sizes of essential oil bottles. (In the United States, customer accounts can purchase 5ml bottles of essential oil and 15 ml bottles of essential oil.)
But essential oil users also buy things like dropper bottles, large and small spray bottles, and roll on bottles that come in a number of different sizes.
Many of us also enjoy making DIY household cleaning products, personal care products, and even skincare products! All of which require following recipes and occasionally breaking out our math skills.
So hopefully what you’re looking for is found below. I’ve included the approximate number of drops of essential oil in each bottle, as well as few helpful conversions to make your next DIY product a little easier.
Every 15 mL Copaiba bottle contains approximately 250 drops of essential oil, and we are here to show you how to make the most of every last drop over the course of one month! Mouthwash: Add 1 drop Copaiba to a swish of On Guard® Mouthwash each morning.
Approximate number of drops of oil per bottle:
Keep in mind that the figures below are approximate numbers. The reason the total number of drops of essential oil in each bottle varies is not due to quality control issues. Nope! Instead, it’s because the viscosity of each oil is differently, and therefore drop sizes/quantity varies oil to oil.
- 4-6 drops of essential oil in a small sample sachet
- 20 drops of essential oil in a 1ml bottle
- 40 drops of essential oil in 2ml bottle
- 100 drops of essential oil in a 5ml bottle
- 300 drops of essential oil in a 15 ml bottle
