Carriers oils (vegetable, in origin) are used as a base for essential oils in massage, facials, perfuming, and moisturizing. They have been extracted using only cold pressing, and are very rich in vitamins and minerals. You will be getting a lot out of them even if used absolutely plain (for facial moisturizing, for example).
Apply to skin that is damp after bathing for maximum absorption. Remember to start with water, the primary moisturizer and softener of skin.

AVOCADO is especially rich in vitamins and is the richest of our carriers. It is excellent for dehydrated, neglected skin, and good during the winter.

SWEET ALMOND is a medium weight carrier oil, good for everything mentioned above.

GRAPE SEED the lightest oil we carry, has a unique feature–it does not stain clothing or sheets. Some massage therapists like it for this reason. It does not have the emollient glaze of a heavier oil like sweet almond or avocado, however. It is an excellent all-over moisturizer during the summer. Also recommended for oily skin.

Special oils such as CAMELLIA, JOJOBA SEED, ROSEHIP SEED, and VITAMIN E may be added in small amounts for the treatments mentioned above. Rosehip seed oil has a reputation as being a very powerful cell-rejuvenating oil, and is thus, extremely good in facials, and in treating dry, neglected, or mistreated skin and hair (apply treatments to your scalp also for best results in growing strong healthy hair).

JOJOBA SEED OIL (technically a wax, and very stable regarding rancidity) is chemically identical to the structure of skin and hair and is a first-rate treatment for skin, and a polisher and groom for hair (rub on your hands and apply to towel-dried hair before styling. A little goes a long way.)

COCOA BUTTER, BEESWAX and SHEA BUTTER are valuable ingredients in making your own cosmetics, cremes, and lip balms, for example. Shea butter is a very luxurious and effective hand creme straight from the jar. Cocoa butter is still the best preventative treatment of stretch marks during pregnancy.
