Furniture polish
Carrier oils, such as jojoba oil, are be used to make a natural furniture polish that will help to protect and shine your furniture. They are often blended with an essential oil such as orange oil to impart a fresh, clean scent.
Wood conditioner

Leather cleaner and conditioner
Carrier oils, such as jojoba oil or almond oil, can be used to make a natural leather cleaner that will help to clean and condition your leather furniture and polish your leather shoes and accessories.
Cleaning solutions
Carrier oils are used to make safe and natural cleansing formulations such as glass cleaners and stainless steel polish. They are often blended with essential oils to impart a fresh aroma.
Room fresheners
Carrier oils, although themselves only lightly scented, are often blended with essential oils to make aromatherapy products and room fresheners. They dilute the highly concentrated essential oils and make them safer to use.
Candle-Making
Carrier oils, in addition to diluting essential oils, help to prevent the essential oils from burning off too quickly. This is because carrier oils have a higher boiling point than essential oils. When carrier oils are added to candles, they help to slow down the evaporation of the essential oils, which means that the candles will smell stronger for longer.
