Benefits & PKMH Recommendations
Plants are used to make carrier oils and essential oils. Carrier oils dilute essential oils and "carry" them to your skin. Most carrier oils are unscented or lightly scented and do not interfere with the therapeutic properties of essential oils. They can be used alone or in combination with other oils to nourish your skin.
The carrier oils listed below are commonly used to dilute essential oils for aromatherapy, massage, and skin care.
The list is not exhaustive, but it is a good starting point:
1. Coconut oil
