- Size: 8 oz

Every workbench has one ingredient nobody romanticizes and everybody uses. Dipropylene Glycol by AzureGreen is the oil drawer's version: 8 oz of the odorless, colorless diluent that perfumery and incense-making run on, sold under its trade name of DPG carrier oil, for stretching fragrance oils, blending custom scents, and preparing incense that burns clean.
No lore, no legend, no scent of its own. The base's whole virtue is getting out of the way.

The Spiritual Significance
We will be perfectly honest, because this product makes it easy: DPG is not an ancient botanical, and despite the trade name it is not an oil. It is a modern synthetic diluent, the quiet standard of the fragrance trades, and its place in a spiritual shop is entirely practical. Practitioners who blend their own condition oils, stretch a precious dram into a working bottle, or make dipped incense from unscented blanks all need a neutral base, and this is the one the industry settled on.
What DPG serves, then, is the craft side of the practice: the blending bench where purchased scents become personal formulas. A drop of dragon's blood oil carried in a neutral base dresses more candles per dram; a custom anointing blend needs a diluent that will not argue with the recipe; incense blanks soaked in DPG-cut fragrance burn cleaner than oil-soaked ones. The magic stays in the scents and intentions; the base just carries them, which has always been the carrier's whole job.
Ways to use it
What Is Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) Carrier Oil Used For?
-
Spellwork
Use it in workings for your goal. -
Dressing a candle
Rub a drop or two onto the candle before you light it, to add your intention to the working. -
Candles and wax melts
Stir it into melted wax when you make candles or wax melts. -
A petition or sigil
Dab it on a petition paper, or use it to draw a sigil. -
Spell bags and jars
Add a few drops to a spell bag, charm or jar. -
Anointing a crystal or tool
Touch a drop to a crystal, wand or other tool. -
Doorways and windowsills
Trace a drop along a doorframe or windowsill. -
Blessing a new tool
Anoint a new crystal, wand or candle holder before its first use. -
New or full moon rituals
Use it to dress your candle or anoint yourself during a moon working. -
Meditation
Warm a drop in your oil warmer, or wear a diluted dab, before you sit. -
Holidays and sabbats
Use it to dress candles for seasonal celebrations. -
Everyday scent
Warm it in an oil warmer, or wear it diluted, for the fragrance alone. -
On skin
Wear it as a personal scent or for a glamour. Dilute it in a carrier oil such as jojoba or grapeseed, and patch test a small spot first. -
In an oil warmer
Fill the warmer's dish mostly with water and add one drop for a lighter scent. Don't use it in an ultrasonic diffuser, which needs essential oils. -
As a gift
A small bottle goes a long way, since most uses take a drop or two. -
How much and how to store it
A drop or two is enough for most uses. Fragrance oils hold up well, so you can keep the bottle with your other supplies with the cap on tight.
Step by step
How To Use This Blending Base
- Dilute fragrance oils to working strength, starting around one part fragrance to two or three parts DPG and adjusting to preference.
- Stretch precious oils: a dram of a favorite blend becomes a working bottle when carried in base.
- Make dipped incense by soaking unscented sticks or cones in DPG-cut fragrance and drying thoroughly before burning.
- Label your blends; every workbench eventually learns this the hard way.
- Store tightly capped away from heat and flame, and patch test any blend destined for skin.
Keep it off the altar and on the bench. Some supplies serve best in the back room.

Before you buy
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DPG?
Dipropylene glycol, a modern synthetic diluent with no odor or color of its own, used throughout the fragrance and incense trades as a neutral carrier. The oil in the trade name is convention, not chemistry, and we say so.
What is it for in spiritual practice?
The blending bench: diluting fragrance and condition oils to working strength, stretching precious drams, and making dipped incense from unscented blanks. It carries the working scents without altering them.
What ratio should I blend at?
A common starting point is one part fragrance oil to two or three parts DPG, adjusted by nose and purpose; candle-dressing blends can run leaner than wearables.
Is it skin-safe?
DPG is widely used in commercial perfumery, but every finished blend depends on what it carries: patch test any skin-bound formula and keep all blends external.
How should I store it?
Tightly capped, cool, away from flame, with finished blends labeled. Kept plainly, it keeps indefinitely, as befits the workbench's least dramatic bottle.
