- Weigh each ingredient in ounces, pounds, or grams.
- Enter the weights into the calculator.
- See the percentages calculated instantly, based on the total weight of the batch.
Tip: Use the calculator before adding fragrance or preservatives to determine the correct percentage for those ingredients.
Example: How to Calculate the Percentage of a Recipe
Let’s say you made a lotion with:
- 16 oz. distilled water
- 8 oz. oil blend
- 4 oz. emulsifying wax
The total batch weight is 28 oz.
- Water: (16 ÷ 28) × 100 = 57.14%
- Oil blend: (8 ÷ 28) × 100 = 28.57%
- Emulsifying wax: (4 ÷ 28) × 100 = 14.29%
Our calculator does this instantly — no math required.
