Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Carrier Oil?
Carrier oils are produced from the seeds, kernels, or nuts of a range of botanical species by extracting the oil from the plant, fruit or vegetable. Carrier oils have a unique range of therapeutic properties, scents and consistencies, and can be used as massage oils or added to existing cosmetic products. In aromatherapy, they are best known as the ‘carrier’ base for the safe application of essential oils onto the skin.
Why Is It Important to Use Essential Oils with Carrier Oils?
Because essential oils are extremely potent, they cannot be directly used on the skin. Carrier oils are crucial to help safely carry the nutrients from essential oils into the skin, scalp, or hair without causing skin irritations
How Much of An Essential Oil Can You Add to A Carrier Oil?
Carrier oils are necessary for the safe use of essential oils on the skin, so we always recommend using safe dilution guidelines. As a general guide for healthy adults, we recommend: 2-4% dilution for skin application and a 1-2% dilution for facial application.
Do Carrier Oils Expire?
Yes. Each carrier oil contains different chemical compounds that affect its shelf-life. Some carrier oils that contain a higher concentration of fatty acids may have a shelf-life as short as 6 months before going rancid. Other carrier oils with naturally higher levels of antioxidants may last as long as 2 years. The best way to extend your carrier oil shelf-life is to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight where they are kept at room temperature.
