Carriers

Vegetable oils are extracted from nuts and seeds and play an undervalued role in Aromatherapy.  Also known as carrier oils or massage oils, these oils are important in beauty treatments and the application of essential oils on to the body.  Vegetable oils play an important role in rejuvinating your skin and putting back important vitamins. 

Essential oils are concentrated, they need to be diluted before they are applied to the skin to reduce skin sensitivity and irritation.  Essential oils do not dissolve in water but do disperse in oil, so to allpy them safely to your skin, they need mixing with a carrier.
