VEGETABLE AND LIQUID CARRIER OILS

With the cosmetic and healing benefits of essential oils garnering popularity, some oils can be too potent for specific uses, particularly when designed for topical application on the skin.

Vegetable and liquid carrier oils are base oils designed to dilute essential oils and carry them to the skin allowing consumers to reap the benefits of specific extracts without the risk of irritation or skin damage.

Commonly, carrier oils are derived from seeds, nuts, kernels and fruits. They are usually cold pressed to avoid subjecting the plant matter to heat therefore reducing the risk of potential damage caused by exposure to higher temperatures.

Popular uses for carrier oils

• Aromatherapy.
• Cosmetics.
• Beauty products.
• Massage oils.
• Bath oils.

While the primary purpose of carrier oils is to deliver potent essential oils to the skin, they are an excellent source of vitamins and nutrients in their own right. When combined and used with the appropriate extract, carrier oils can boost the efficiency of the primary essential oil and improve the benefits of the product.

It’s important to choose carrier oils that can enhance the efficiency of the essential oil rather than work against it. Contact Phytoverse today to find out how our carrier oils can be used to support exceptional product development.
