AROMATHERAPY CARRIER OILS By J.C. Shannon To achieve more benefits, ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OILS are added to AROMATHERAPY CARRIER OILS or base oils, which are vegetable, nut or seed oils, many of whom have therapeutic properties of their own. However, they aren’t just any vegetable oil you buy in the grocery store. They need to be cold pressed and cooking oils have usually been prepared with questionable processing. Because ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OILS are highly concentrated, they may not always be used directly on the skin. They need to be added to AROMATHERAPY CARRIER OILS. Here at Rocky Mountain Oils we have Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO). We like this one the best because it doesn’t stain sheets (which makes it great for Massage Therapists), absorbs well into the skin and has no scent. Since the particles that go rancid in oils have been pulled out, it has an indefinite shelf life. Also, some people who have severe allergies to nuts have had no reaction to FCO. (Further studies are pending.) We also sell Grapeseed oil, which is another good base oil. Some other possibilities are Apricot Kernel, Corn, Hazelnut, Peanut, Safflower, Soya Bean, Aloe Vera, and Sunflower. Each has its own use and own properties. It’s best to try different ones out until you find the one that best suits your personality. There are some base oils, which can be mixed with AROMATHERAPY CARRIER OILS. These will need to be added in a 10% dilution, particularly if you are a new user. Jojoba is one we sell. A few other good ones are Olive, Sesame, Wheat Germ, Avocado Pear, Borage Seed, Carrot, and Evening Primrose oils. An important point to remember: if an Organic Essential Oil used neat is too hot for your skin, never use water to dilute it. The water traps them against the skin and they will burn you even more. Instead, use an AROMATHERAPY CARRIER OIL, which buffers the burning effects while still giving you the therapeutic effects you are seeking. We sell some Organic Essential Oil blends, which are already mixed with AROMATHERAPY CARRIOR OILS. These are ready to use straight from the bottle.
