Carrier oils are important as a skin moisturizer as well as in blending your oils to create your own wonderful scents. Some essential oils must be diluted with a carrier oil or water before applying to the skin. |
GRAPESEED (Vitis vinifora; alcohol extract)
Grapeseed oil has a fine texture, low odor, and a faint greenish hue. It contains minimal vitamins, minerals, and proteins.
USES: Popular as a massage oil base because of its light texture which allows it to penetrate the skin easily without leaving an oily residue. Its low odor does not obscure the scent of the essential oils. For beauty and skin treatments it is best to blend it with a more nutritious carrier oil.
CARE: Best to store in a cooler, dark location.
GOLDEN JOJOBA (Simmondsia chinensis)
A yellow oil that is actually a liquid wax with a odorless, light texture that is highly penetrative. Its chemical structure resembles the skin's natural oily secretions, making is an excellent conditioner for all skin types, especially mature skin. It contains protein, minerals and an anti-inflammatory agent.
USES: A versatile carrier oil for massage and skin care. It works well with all skin types, including blemished and oily skin as it helps to unclog the pores. For dry skin, it is effective for dryness and dandruff when massaged on its own into the hair and scalp. This oil can also be used for inflamed and irritated skin conditions or a mild sunscreen. It is one of the best choices for use as a perfume base because it is the least greasy of the carrier oils and long lasting.
CARE: This stable and long lasting oil will store for years without the breakdown of its compounds.
SWEET ALMOND (Prunus amygdalus)
A very pale yellow oil with a slight nutty odor and rich in minerals, vitamins and protein. A classic quality carrier oil for massage. Long been valued in the East for these qualities. It is non-irritating and can be used on sensitive skin types. One of the most useful medium-light, multipurpose massage or facial oils available.
USES: A gentle lubricant that softens, revitalizes, and nourishes the skin. Especially good for dry, sensitive, and irritated skin conditions. It is said to give skin elasticity, helping to prevent wrinkling.
CARE: Best to store in a cooler, dark location.
