Carrier Oils

What are carrier oils?

Carrier oils make essential oils safe to use on the skin by diluting their intensity. But they’re more than just a base — these plant‑derived oils add their own nourishing benefits, thanks to their vitamins and fatty acids, making them valuable for both skincare and haircare.

Carrier oils are fatty plant-based liquids (from nuts or seeds) used to safely dilute and "carry" potent essential oils to the skin. Unlike fast-evaporating essential oils, they absorb slowly and provide their own nutritional benefits like vitamins and antioxidants to nourish the skin and hair.

Do I really need a Carrier oil?  

Essential oils are very concentrated. Applying them directly on your skin may cause  a reaction which can be nasty.Carrier oils dilute these oils to keep them at  safe levels while maintaining  all the powerful ingredients of essential oils. Therefore less essential oil, more carrier oil. The exact ratio depends on where you're applying it.

 Can I use carrier oil alone without essential oils? Answer is Yes.

 Carrier oils are effective all on their own — they moisturise, condition hair, and work beautifully for massage. Their naturally occurring fatty acids and vitamins provide nourishing benefits without needing anything added.
