Base Oils / Facial Oils / Massage Oils

Q1: What is the difference between carrier oils, base oils and massage oils?

A: They refer to the same family of plant-based oils used in aromatherapy and natural skincare. "Carrier oils" emphasises their role of carrying (diluting) essential oils, "base oils" highlights their use as the base of skincare formulations, and "massage oils" focuses on their lubricating texture for body massage. Popular choices include jojoba, sweet almond, rosehip, argan, grapeseed and apricot kernel.

Q2: Which carrier oil is best for the face?

A: Jojoba oil mimics the skin's own sebum and suits oily / breakout-prone skin; rosehip oil is rich in vitamin A for anti-ageing and brightening; argan and sweet almond are excellent for dry or mature skin. Apply 3-5 drops on damp skin morning and night.

Q3: How do I dilute essential oils for massage?

A: For full-body massage, use 1-2% dilution — about 3-6 drops of essential oil per 10 ml of carrier oil. Reduce to 0.5-1% for facial blends or sensitive skin, and always patch-test 24-48 hours before first use.

Q7: How do I use carrier oils on the face and body?

A: Apply 3-5 drops on cleansed, damp skin morning and night, or mix 2-3% essential oils into 10ml of carrier oil for facial serums and body massage blends. Always patch-test new oils on the inner forearm first.
