Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 CARRIER OILS In this newsletter we are going to present information about several of the most commonly used and asked about Carrier oils. Carrier oils are also known as fixed, or base oils. Different carriers oils work better for the various skin types and for the age of skin such as infants, teens and the elderly. Some carrier oils work better on oily, dry or combination skin. These oils are the bases used to make massage oils, bath oils and can be used in bath salts and scrubs. Several of them can be added to shampoos and conditioners to make you hair feel and look better. Please note that if you have nut allergies you should choose the appropriate carrier oils such as one derived from seeds, to avoid having a reaction. Massage therapists please be sure to ask your clients too. Almond oil, Sweet - Prunus amygdalis var dulcis Sweet almond oil is a light oil. Massage therapists like it as it has a good glide for massage. It is relatively inexpensive. Almond oils are pale yellow in color. It is wonderful for lubricating, is nourishing and revitalizing. Good for all skin types. It has been known to help relieve itching, soreness and dryness and other forms of inflammation.

When used for blending it can be used as 100% of the carrier oil.
