Carrier oil blend
A carrier oil blend is a thoughtfully mixed combination of natural plant oils used to dilute essential oils, carry active ingredients, and provide a nourishing base in skincare and haircare products.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, a carrier oil blend serves as an emollient and solvent that helps deliver lipophilic actives to the skin while forming a light protective layer. The blend is typically created from stable, skin-friendly oils such as jojoba, sweet almond, argan and rosehip to balance texture, absorption speed and fatty acid profile, making it ideal for facial serums, body oils, cleansing balms and hair treatments.
