Carrier Oil Information:
Olive Base Oil
Olea Europaea
Origin: Spain
Carrier oils are also known as base oil or vegetable oil.
They are used to dilute essential oils and absolutes before they are applied to the skin.
They are so named because they carry the essential oil onto the skin.
Carrier oils do not contain a concentrated aroma, unlike essential oils, nor do they evaporate like them.
Put a few drops of the essential oil/oils into the carrier oil and mix well.
Olive Oil is rich in E vitamin, antioxidant and ideal natural cosmetic for dry skin. In ancient Greece it was used for body rubbing. It is good for rheumatic conditions, hair care cosmetics and soothing.
Use 10 drops of essential oil to one table spoon of olive oil
