Carrier oils are usually cold pressed from nuts, seeds or kernels and have their own unique therapeutic properties. They are often used in aromatherapy and natural skin care because they help nourish and moisturize the skin while helping to distribute essential oils.
Some carrier oils include coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, grapeseed oil, and avocado oil, among others. Each carrier oil has its own unique properties and is suitable for different skin types and skin conditions. For example, coconut oil is a great moisturizer for dry skin, while jojoba oil, which is very similar to the natural oils our skin produces, is great for all skin types. Jojoba oil is often used as a carrier oil, due to the fact that it can easily bind essential oils and can last up to 3 years.
When using carrier oils, it is important to choose high-quality, unrefined oils that do not contain additives or synthetic ingredients. It is also important to use appropriate dilution ratios when mixing essential oils with carrier oils to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
Typically, essential oils are diluted into vegetable oils in concentrations of approximately 1%-2%. If you use vegetable oils on your skin, it is important to look at the comedogenic index of these oils and find out which oil is suitable for your skin.
We recommend carrier oils from the following brands:
Alteya Organics, a Bulgarian company that grows its own herbs for the production of hydrolates and uses mineral water from the village of Jagoda to produce these wonderful products.
Wooden Spoon makes sure to use high-quality oils in its products that have an BIO certificate. It is interesting that the brand is popular with the English royal family.
