What are Aromatherapy Carrier Oils?

Aromatherapy carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils before application to the skin, commonly through aromatherapy body lotion, bath, or massage. In addition, they help you to evenly spread the essential oils over the body.

Also, aromatherapy carrier oils posses vitamins that can make your skin look healthier as well as reduce wrinkles. Further, remember that when you are undergoing a massage, for example, often 98% of the aromatherapy body lotion made from carrier oil.

There are myriad carrier oils, with some more appropriate than others depending upon the treatment. For example, sweet almond is a good aromatherapy massage oil. Sunflower, on the other hand, can be used as an aromatherapy body lotion.
