Base Oils / Facial Oils

Q1: What are carrier oils / base oils?

A: Carrier oils (also called base oils or vegetable oils) are lipid oils cold-pressed from natural seeds, nuts and fruits such as jojoba, sweet almond, rosehip, argan and grapeseed. They safely dilute essential oils, nourish the skin and form the base of aromatherapy and natural skincare products.

Q2: How are carrier oils different from essential oils?

A: Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic extracts and must never be applied undiluted. Carrier oils are mild lipid oils that dilute essential oils, slow evaporation and help active compounds absorb into the skin.

Q3: Which carrier oil suits my skin type?

A: Dry / mature skin: rosehip, argan, wheatgerm, avocado. Sensitive / baby skin: sweet almond, apricot kernel, jojoba. Oily / acne-prone skin: grapeseed, jojoba, fractionated coconut. Combination skin: jojoba and sweet almond are great all-rounders.
