Carrier Oils are plant based oils and waxes that have properties of their own and are used in Aromatherapy to dilute and enhance Essential Oils. My all time favorite is Jojoba Oil, which is actually an ester wax, very similar in it's chemical make-up to our own skin oils. It stays fresh longer than any other carrier oil that I am aware of and is wonderful for the skin.
Jojoba is a bushy plant grown in the south west that produces a bean from which the oil is extracted. The oil has been used in shampoos and cosmetics for many years. It is a golden color and can be applied directly to the skin. A friend of mine uses it daily on her face and loves it! I often do as well.
One of my favorite blends:
1/3 oz Jojoba
few drops Rose essential oil
few drops Frankincense essential oil
1 drop Ylang Ylang essential oil
This can be used as a perfume and it very uplifting and good for the skin.
Essential Oils are volatile plant oils, used to improve health and well being. We will discuss individual oils, blending, and my experiences with oils; as well as testimonials from others.
