Carrier Oil
A carrier oil is a neutral, plant-based oil derived from seeds, nuts, or kernels, primarily used to dilute and transport essential oils for safe topical application. It helps prevent skin irritation from potent essential oils while enhancing absorption and providing additional moisturizing benefits, making it a staple in modern aromatherapy, cosmetics, and natural health routines.
Did you know?
Did you know that argan oil, a popular carrier oil from Morocco, is produced from the kernels of the argan tree and involves a traditional process where goats climb the trees to eat the fruit, leading to the seeds being collected from their droppings—over 1.5 million liters are produced annually, supporting local economies and UNESCO-protected heritage.
