Carrier Oils / Base Oils
Carrier Oils are vegetable, nut or seed oils and many have therapeutic properties. Always dilute your essential oils with a carrier oil before using on your skin.
 |
With the exception of Lavender and Tea Tree, most essential oils are too concentrated to be used directly on the skin. Diluted in a carrier oil, they can be massaged or rubbed directly onto the skin. |
