Essential oils are the highly concentrated version of the natural oils in plants. While carrier oils are mainly oils extracted from the nuts, seeds or kernels of plants.
As they are fairly neutral, carrier oils compliment essential oils and are an excellent choice for diluting essential oils for skin and hair products such as massage oils, scrubs, salves, lotions and balms.
Popular carrier oils like coconut oil and olive oil are very beneficial for you but when you add an essential oil to them e.g. Lavender, Peppermint oil you can end up with an amazing blend of valuable proteins, vitamins, fatty acids and natural nutrients that hold immense benefit for your skin, hair and health.
For example:
Castor Oil + Watercress Oil = Excellent Hair Growth, Prevents Hair Loss.
Castor Oil + Bitter Almond Oil = Removes Wrinkles
Sesame Oil + Fenugreek Oil = Removes Foot Cracks
etc...
However, these oils maybe natural but they are still very powerful and allergic reactions may occur in some cases. So it's always best to try a little by doing a small skin patch test on your inner arm or leg (never your face or neck) to make sure you don't have an adverse reaction.
