Carrier Oil
Carrier oils are neutral oils used to dilute essential oils and other active compounds, making them safer for topical use and improving the absorption of the active ingredients. Common carrier oils include coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, and grape seed oil. These oils are typically used in topical pharmaceuticals, massage oils, and aromatherapy products.
Fun Fact:
Coconut oil is not only a popular carrier oil but also has its own antimicrobial properties, making it a great choice for skin care and wound healing applications!
