Carrier Oil Profiles

Carrier oils, also known as vegetable oils, base oils or fixed oils, are used to dilute essential oils, CO2s and absolutes before applying to the skin.

What are Carrier Oils?
See the What are Carrier Oils? article for detailed information on what carrier oils are and how they are used.
 
What are Essential Fatty Acids?
Carrier oils that are rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are especially nourishing to the skin. See the Essential Fatty Acids article for an overview of these important nutrients.
 
What are Infused Oils?
An infused oil consists of a carrier oil that has been permeated with one or more herbs. The benefit to using an infused oil as opposed to a plain carrier oil is that the infused oil will contain the therapeutic properties of both the carrier oil and the herbs that were infused into the oil. Learn more here.
