The Synergy of Carrier Oils and Essential Oils in Skincare
In the ever-evolving world of cosmetics, the combination of carrier oils and essential oils has become a cornerstone of natural skincare. At Yano Cosmetics, we're always on the pulse of industry trends, and today we're diving into how carrier oils enhance the topical application of essential oils.
What are Carrier Oils?
Carrier oils, also known as base oils or vegetable oils, are derived from the fatty portions of plants, usually from the seeds, kernels, or nuts. Unlike essential oils, carrier oils are mild and do not evaporate quickly, making them ideal for skin application.
The Role of Carrier Oils in Essential Oil Application
1. Dilution for Safety
Essential oils are highly concentrated and can be irritating when applied directly to the skin. Carrier oils help dilute these potent oils, reducing the risk of skin sensitization and irritation.
2. Enhanced Absorption
Carrier oils have larger molecules than essential oils, which slows down the evaporation of the essential oils and allows for better absorption into the skin. This means the beneficial properties of the essential oils can work more effectively.
3. Extended Shelf Life
Some carrier oils have natural antioxidant properties that can help preserve the essential oils, extending their shelf life and maintaining their therapeutic benefits for longer.
4. Additional Skin Benefits
Many carrier oils come with their own set of skin-nourishing properties. For example:
Ojon oil is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, making it excellent for restoring moisture to dry, damaged hair and skin.
Pracahi oil is known for its high concentration of behenic acid, which provides deep moisturization and may help improve skin texture.
Buriti oil is packed with beta-carotene and essential fatty acids, offering potent antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.
These unique Amazonian oils not only serve as effective carriers for essential oils but also bring their own remarkable properties to enhance skin and hair health. At Yano Cosmetics, we harness the power of these natural ingredients to create products that nourish and revitalize.
How to Use Carrier Oils with Essential Oils
The general rule of thumb is to use a 2% dilution, which means adding 12 drops of essential oil to each fluid ounce (30 ml) of carrier oil. However, this can vary depending on the specific essential oil and the intended use.
