What Are Aromatherapy Carrier Oils?
A carrier oil is an oil that is used to dilute essential oils for the purpose of aromatherapeutic treatments. Most aromatherapy carrier oils are derived from nuts, fruits, and vegetables. The oil from nuts is usually expressed from the meat of the nut and not the shell. When aromatherapy carrier oils are expressed from vegetables and fruits they are often expressed from the seeds within the plants.
