Carrier Oils & Butters
Carrier Oils, also called Base Oils, Fixed Oils or Natural Oils, play an important role in carrying and diluting the highly concentrated essential oils. By diluting the essentials, they inhibit
evaporation rate of essential oils and by spreading easily and evenly
over the skin encourage quick absorption into skin.
Each base oil has its own individual quality which should be considered
while blending.
Almond
Sweet almond oil is one of the most popular carrier oils, since it is
non-greasy, spreads easily and also is great for nourishing the skin.
Sweet almond oil is obtained from the dried kernels of the almond tree.
Not only does almond oil help protect the surface of the skin, but acts
as an emollient, skin soother and softener while conditioning the skin
and promoting a clear young looking complexion ; helps to relieve muscular
aches and pains ; helps the skin to balance its loss and absorption of
moisture.
It is suitable for all skin types, especially good for dry or irritated
skin and helps relieve irritation, inflammation and itching; is greatly
lubricating and because it is not an overly fast penetrating oil, it is
a good massage medium to use to help spread the oil and essential oil
mixture, while still allowing you time to do a good massage before it
is absorbed by the skin.

10% wheatgerm oil gives a longer shelf life.
