Carrier oils offer perhaps the easiest and most obvious way of incorporating fruit in skincare.
How Our Organic Fruit Oils are created.
The farmers harvest the fruits and let them naturally dry in the son over a period of time, then they are compressed and pulped to extract the 100% pure organic oils.
They are then added to a carrier oil and bottled, with no chemicals or additives added.
The Shelf life is one year.
What is a Carrier Oil?
Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and “carry” them to your skin.
That’s because essential oils are potent and can cause irritation when applied directly to your skin.
Most carrier oils are unscented or lightly scented and don’t interfere with an essential oil’s therapeutic properties.
Essential oils are highly concentrated lubricants distilled from the aromatic parts of a plant such as the root or leaves.
Carrier oils are pressed from the seeds, nuts, or other fatty parts of the fruit, and are used to help dilute essential oils.
Essential oils evaporate and have strong scents, whereas carrier oils do not.
When diluting essential oils with a carrier oil, it’s important to follow these dilution guidelines.
For Adults:
- 2.5 percent dilution: 15 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil.
- 3 percent dilution: 20 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil.
- 5 percent dilution: 30 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil.
- 10 percent dilution: 60 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil.
For Children
- 0.5 to 1 percent dilution: 3 to 6 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil.
