Many essential oils are too powerful and concentrated to be used on the skin undiluted.
They should be mixed with a vegetable oil, commonly called a carrier oil. Unlike essential oils, vegetable oils are greasy, fixed, do not evaporate and will leave an oily mark on absorbent paper. Most carrier oils are pale in color and have a faint odor. For massage, they provide the lubrication needed for the therapist's hands to move freely over skin. For the purposes of aromatherapy, cold or expeller pressed oils are preferred over hot solvent extracted oils which use hexane.
