What are Carrier Oils

A base oil or carrier oil can be used for many purposes and has its own unique properties, including therapeutic effect and fragrance. You can use a base oil purely as a massage oil, for example. But you can also use it as a base for making creams or to make and / or dilute essential oil products. In addition, a carrier oil supports the action of essential oils.

When mixing, the effect of the oils does not decrease, but they reinforce each other. By mixing a carrier oil with an essential oil you can also massage a larger part of the body. Except for a few uses and some oils, I always recommend diluting essential oil with a carrier oil. This is to minimize the chance of a reaction of the skin (which can also occur after frequent undiluted use), to prevent overdosing, and because this makes the use cheaper and, as said before, certainly not less.
