Carrier Oils

Carrier Oils

When working with essential oils and synergy blends, there is always the possibility of the essential oils spoiling the base oils -- the essential oils can break down the viscosity of the base oil, resulting in something smelling and looking like old milk. The solution is to use a balanced base, such as a carrier oil, which is designed to hold essential oils without negative effects.

    Essential 3 Jojoba Carrier Oil


    Our Jojoba carrier oil is a rich, golden colored oil. This oil has gained a huge following in recent years for its fantastic moisturizing properties. Originally it was developed commercially as a replacement for spermaceti wax (derived from whale blubber) used traditionally in cosmetics. This oil is ideal for all dry skin conditions and can be used undiluted for really dry skins by just adding a drop or two to enhance any blend. Jojoba oil does solidify into a wax-like substance when cold. This is a natural occurrence and will reverse when warmed in the hand or left at a normal room temperature.


    • When blending essential oils with carrier oils, follow the instructions contained on the leaflet of each essential oil, following the precautions.

    • We select what we believe to be the best carrier oils.
    • Where possible we use unrefined versions of the oils that often contain more natural goodness, including vitamins and other beneficial ingredients.
