Carrier Oils
Here are some factors to consider when choosing a carrier oil for topical application to the skin or hair
- ● Skin type: Some carrier oils are better suited for certain skin types than others. For example, Jojoba Oil is a good choice for hair care as the wax esters mimic our scalp's natural sebum, whereas marula oil is light and fast absorbing, making it ideal for facial application.
- ● Essential oil aroma: The properties of the essential oil you are using should also be considered when choosing a carrier oil. For example, if you are using an essential oil with a relatively light scent, such as lavender oil, you may want to choose a carrier oil with a milder aroma, such as Sweet Almond Oil.
● Personal preference: Ultimately, the best carrier oil for you is the one that you feel most comfortable with and that works best for your skin.
