Carrier Oils to Use with Essential Oils Especially When Caring For Skin

Summary by Judy Lausch, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

Although oil and water do not mix, spritzers can be made, using essential oils with distilled waters for another way to carry the oil. Other types of carriers include alcohol, vinegar, or herbal oils.

Carrier oil is fatty oil which is often used to extend or to dilute the essential oil to make it go further. The carrier oil will slow down the rate of absorption of the essential oil. Some carrier oils contain therapeutic properties in the form of smaller molecules.

Essential oils have wonderful and varied aromas while carrier oils usually have no particular aroma until they are heated. Essential Oils, if properly cared it can last for years, while carrier oils tend to go rancid relatively quickly. Examples of popular carrier oils are:

Avocado oil (Persea Americana) is made from the large seeds of the plant; this oil is also good for dry skin. Sesame seed oil (Sesamum indicum) is made from pressing the seeds. Other carrier oils include Apricot-kernel oil, Arnica infusion oil, Borage oil, Calendula infusion, Canola oil, Castor oil, Cocoa butter oil, corn oil, Evening Primrose oil, Hazelnut oil, mineral oil (a synthetic by-product of petroleum which is not recommended), Mullein infusion, Peanut oil, Peach kernel oil, Pecan nut oil, Rosehip seed oil, Safflower oil, St. John’s Wort infusion, Soy oil, Squalene (shark oil), Vitamin E oil (from various vegetables), Walnut oil and Wheat germ oil.

Ways to Apply Essential Oils to the Skin

Add 5-7 drops of the selected essential oil, and then swish the oil into the water. Be certain to use therapeutic grade medicinal quality essential oils. Simply fill a small, spray-topped, bottle with distilled water, and add the selected essential oil to the water. A good gauge is 10-15 drops of oil into four ounces of distilled water. Add 1-2 drops of the selected essential oil to a cup of distilled water. Baths are a favorite way to use essential oils on the skin. Adding essential oils to a dispersing agent will prevent this problem. This is why essential oils are first added to bath salts. Most essential oils should first be added to carrier oil before applying directly to the skin. Many massage therapists add essential oils to the oils they use for massage. A good gauge is 15 drops of the selected essential oil per ounce of carrier oil. The gauge is 15 drops of essential oil per ounce of cream or salve.

Again, the gauge is around 15 drops of essential oil per ounce of cream or gel.
