Essential oils, with their potent aromas and therapeutic properties, enhance our well-being naturally. But did you know that using them safely and effectively requires a key partner: carrier oils? These gentle, plant-based oils act as the base for diluting essential oils, making them suitable for topical application and preventing potential skin irritation.
In this article, we'll embark on a journey into the world of carrier oils, exploring their benefits, popular varieties, and how to use them with Aroma Magic oils, a renowned brand committed to natural and organic products.
Why Carrier Oils are Essential
-
Dilution: Essential oils are highly concentrated and can cause irritation or sensitisation if applied directly to the skin. Carrier oils dilute them safely, making them suitable for topical use.
-
Absorption: Essential oils evaporate quickly, while carrier oils help them penetrate and absorb deeper into the skin, maximising their therapeutic benefits.
- Nourishment: Carrier oils themselves possess valuable properties. For example, jojoba oil is like our skin's natural sebum, offering excellent moisturising benefits.

-
Application: For massage, coconut or sesame oil offers good glide. For DIY skincare, jojoba or almond oil are popular choices.
