Carrier oils, derived from vegetables, nuts, or seeds, are essential in aromatherapy, acting as the perfect “carriers” for essential oils during topical application.

Unlike essential oils, carrier oils are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids that deeply nourish and moisturize the skin. They’re heavier, don’t evaporate, and fully absorb, promoting skin cell regeneration and preserving elasticity.

My top picks? Jojoba, Avocado, Coconut, Almond, Argan, Apricot kernel, Arnica, Baobab, Carrot, Black castor, Grapeseed, Hempseed, Rosehip seed, and Sesame oils. Each offers unique benefits, making them a must-have in any skincare routine. 🌿✨

-It is safe to take essential oils orally
-You don't need to be educated to use essential oils
-Levander essential oil is a hormone disrupter
-Essential oils have vitamins
-Essential oils never expire
-The label “Therapeutic Grade” is important (Therapeutic Grade” is an unregulated marketing term that ensures neither purity nor quality. A company can use this term to describe their essential oils, without legal risk, even if those oils are adulterated)
-Essential oils are safe for kids and animals as well

I would never buy, nor let my friends buy, essential oils off the shelf or online without knowing what's in the bottle.

Without knowing the source of the essential oils, there is a possibility they might be adulterated. Adulterated oils can lead to unwanted and expensive effects such as skin issues, headaches, and nasal irritation.

Research the essential oil brand online, and check if they share the chemical component list (GC/MS report). The label “Therapeutic Grade” is misleading; it is an unregulated marketing term that ensures neither purity nor quality. A company can use this term to describe its essential oils without legal risk, even if they are adulterated.

Dilution: Always dilute essential oils with carrier oils or butter when applying to the skin. The carrier won't reduce the oil's therapeutic effects but will ensure safer use.

Dilution: Always dilute essential oils with carrier oils or butters when applying to the skin. The carrier won't reduce the oil's therapeutic effects but will ensure safer use.

Absorption Rates: The type of carrier you use affects absorption speed. Aloe vera jelly, lotions, and creams absorb faster than carrier oils. Lighter oils like grapeseed absorb quicker than heavier oils like jojoba.

Less is More: Essential oils are very potent. Even a few drops can provide immense therapeutic benefits for everyday health issues.

Single Oils and Blends: Single essential oils are effective on their own but can also be combined into blends to enhance their abilities and address various health and wellness needs.

Limitations: Essential oils cannot cure diseases, but they can help alleviate many symptoms and concerns when used correctly.

It's recommended to diffuse essential oils in intervals: 30-60 minutes on, followed by 30-60 minutes off, then repeat.
Always use kid-safe essential oils and shorter intervals, like 15 minutes when diffusing around kids. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the door is open.

Did you know essential oils expire? Over time, they lose their potency and therapeutic benefits.

They can change the odor and color but more importantly, cause skin sensitivity and rushes.

Citrus oils last 1-2 years, while others last 2-3 years.

Always check the expiration date, but best to use it within one year of opening.

Keep them fresh by storing them in a cool, dark place.

Tip: put a sticker with the date opened for tracking. Keep it in a dark bottle, tightly closed away from heat and light.

Stay potent, stay fresh! 🌸✨

Carrier oils are neutral, usually vegetable-based oils used to dilute essential oils in aromatherapy. They're important for several reasons:

Dilution: Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts and can be too potent to use directly on the skin. Carrier oils help dilute them to a safe concentration for topical application, reducing the risk of irritation or adverse reactions.

Skin Protection: Carrier oils provide a protective barrier for the skin when essential oils are applied topically, preventing them from evaporating too quickly and allowing for better absorption.

Common carrier oils include jojoba, coconut, almond, grapeseed, and olive oil. The choice of carrier oil can also influence the therapeutic properties of the blend, as each carrier oil has its unique characteristics and benefits.
