Seed St John's Wort Sunflower Walnut Wheatgerm Mineral Oil Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils to make essential oils suitable for massage.
Essential oils are too powerful to be used undiluted on the skin.
Carrier oils provide good lubrication for the therapist's hands to glide over the patients skin surface. They support the skin's ability to function, to breathe, to absorb light, to regulate the skin's temperature, soften the skin and give it elasticity. Choose from the following base oils for making your own massage blends. These oils are safe for all skin types, but it its advisable to patch test the carrier oils first before making the blend. A very few people with highly sensitive complexions can develop an allergic reaction even to natural oils, so it is worth testing each one you use on a small area of skin first.
