Carrier oils, also known as base oils, are used to dilute essential oils before applying them to the skin. They are called "carrier oils" because they "carry" the essential oil onto the skin. They are used to dilute essential oils because essential oils are highly concentrated and can be too strong to apply directly to the skin. Carrier oils also provide their own set of benefits to the skin, such as moisturizing and nourishing properties. They are also used to make massage oils, lotions, and other beauty products.
Below is a break down of the carrier oils I use in my products;
