What are carrier oils?
“Carrier Oil” is a term generally used in the contexts of aromatherapy and cosmetic recipes for natural skin and hair care.
Carrier oils and essential oils are made from plants. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and “carry” them to your skin. That’s because essential oils are potent and can cause irritation when applied directly to your skin.
A Carrier Oil is a vital aspect of an aromatherapy massage or a natural cosmetic such as a soap, bath oil, body oil, cream, lip balm, lotion, or other moisturizer, as it can affect the usefulness of the massage and the color, scent, therapeutic properties, and shelf life of the final product, respectively.
Most carrier oils are unscented or lightly scented and don’t interfere with an essential oil’s therapeutic properties. They may be used alone or with other oils to nourish your skin.
Cold Pressing
It is a chemical-free process that involves placing the nuts or seeds in a horizontal press that has an 'expeller,' which is a rotating screw. The screw drives the nuts and seeds through a barrel-shaped hollow and compresses them until the high pressure squeezes out the oil, which seeps out through the opening, while the ‘meal,’ or the debris, remains inside the barrel. The oil is then filtered, resulting in the finished product. Due to the absence of solvent residues in Cold Pressing, the outcome is cleaner, purer oils that are higher in natural colors and scents.

CleansingWho has ever heard of washing your face with oil, of all things?! Believe it or not, sweet almond oil is actually excellent at purging the skin of toxins, opening up pores, and retaining moisture that blocks the entry of dirt. You'd be surprised to find that it safely removes makeup too - Even those pesky raccoon circles from your mascara that most cleansers tend to leave behind. Sweet almond oil absorbs into your skin super fast, so you don't have to wait for that greasy feeling to dissipate before putting on your morning makeup. |
Soothes Puffy Eyes. Moisturizes Chapped LipsIf you're using sweet almond oil as a face moisturizer, pat some oil around your eyes before you go to bed at night. Coffee is great at helping you feel awake, but almond oil will actually help you look awake! Simply apply a little sweet almond oil onto dry, cracked lips and the nourishing properties of the oil will lock in moisture for soft, plump lips! |
Can Lighten Appearance of Some ScarringOne of almond oil's most popular characteristics is how quickly it absorbs. The properties of the oil keep the skin's moisture levels balanced, can rejuvenate the scar tissue, and can possibly even out the color and texture of the healing process left behind. Applying sweet almond oil to your adorable baby bump will help moisturize as it grows! |
Rough Hands and Feet. Brittle NailsThe zinc content can help smooth rough, calloused skin and because almond oil is light, you won't be leaving greasy handprints all over your home. If your skin isn't as moisturized as you'd like, chances are your nails aren't either. The proteins found in sweet almond oil can possibly strengthen soft, brittle nails. |
