All About Carrier Oils: Benefits And The Best Ones To Use For Skin

Essential Oils? We know all about them. But what do you really know about its lesser-known partner - the deeply nourishing  Carrier Oils?

Carrier Oils are incredibly instrumental in aromatherapy massage and the natural skincare routine. They are highly nutritious oils cold-pressed from nuts, seeds, flowers, etc., used for diluting essential oils since they are too strong and potent for direct application. 

They support and boost the efficiency of essential oils by absorbing them deep within the skin. Together Carrier Oils and essential oils make the ultimate skin-enhancing power couple for flawless beauty and unmatched radiance. 

But, Carrier Oils have their own benefits too. They are amazingly nourishing and make the skin soft, smooth and supple as silk. 

So let’s get ready to uncover the secrets of these great gifts of nature! 

• High nutritional value:

  Carrier Oils contain fat-soluble vitamins, minerals and numerous skin-loving nutrients along with a boatload of antioxidants. They nourish, protect and promote healthy, enriched skin. 

• Remain ‘fixed’ on the skin: 

Carrier Oils are also called ‘fixed oils’ because they hold on to the skin’s surface and do not evaporate quickly. This allows hands to glide easily over the skin, improves moisture retention and keeps the skin soft. 

•  Deep Penetrating: 

Their molecular structure and presence of fatty acids makes carrier oils penetrate deep into the skin, moisturising and nourishing it from within and enhancing the overall appearance completely. Due to this, carrier oils are able to make the highly virtuous and beneficial essential oils reach deep within the skin and work their magic quickly and efficiently.

• Intensely Moisturises and Soothes: 

These oils work wonders on dry, irritated skin. They strengthen the skin barrier, fortifying it with skin-enhancing lipids and preventing moisture loss. By boosting moisturisation in the skin, carrier oils also provide a soothing effect that relieves redness, itching and irritation.
