What Are Carrier Oils?
Essential oils are rarely used undiluted and one of the easiest approaches to diluting them is to use a carrier oil. Carrier oils act as a means to carry essential oils molecules and enable an equal amount of these molecules to be spread over the whole body or any particular part of the body for a massage treatment or any type of body rub. This is to ensure safe application on the skin and to avoid any irritation. Generally, carrier oils are comprised of vegetable oils derived from seeds, nuts, fruits and vegetables.
Each carrier oil has its own characteristic and therapeutic properties. A blending of carrier oils can have therapeutics healing potential that, when combined with essential oils, add to the overall potency.

Best Carrier Oils for Essential Oils
To pick your best carrier oil for essential oil, do consider the following factors:
Odor
Carrier oils are not strongly scented, but they still have a unique smell of their own. This contributing smell may influence the overall aroma of a blend of carrier oils and essential oils.
Absorption
Certain vegetable oils tend to be more viscous or heavier than others and thus impacting the physical absorption rate of diluted essential oils. Therefore, carrier oils that fall under the viscous category can be blended with other basic carrier oils such that their richness or skin-nourishing properties can be taken advantage of.
Type of Skin
The choice of carrier oils is also determined by the individual’s skin condition. Individuals with normal skin types may have access to a wider range of carrier oils while individuals with dry, sensitive skin or allergic reactions to certain elements like nuts would perhaps require a skin test prior using.
Shelf Life
The triacylglycerols that make up these carrier oils can undergo attack by oxygen and moisture in the atmosphere. Fatty acids present will also react with oxygen in the presence of light or elevated temperatures. Therefore, we would recommend keeping the oils in a cool and dark place.
