Plant-derived oils used to dilute essential oils before topical application. They carry the essential oil safely onto your skin.
What Are Carrier Oils?
Carrier oils are plant-derived oils used to dilute essential oils before topical application. Because essential oils are highly concentrated and can cause irritation when applied directly, carrier oils "carry" them safely onto the skin.
Featured: Jojoba Oil
Technically a liquid wax ester, Jojoba oil closely mimics human sebum. It is extremely stable, boasts a long shelf life, and is non-comedogenic, making it commonly used for cosmetic skin care and suitable for all skin types.

Safety & Best Practices
- Always Patch-Test: Apply a small amount of diluted oil to the inner forearm to check for sensitivity.
- Quality Matters: Not all carrier oils are equal. Look for cold-pressed, unrefined options for the best cosmetic results.
