Carrier and Base Oils
Massage, or therapeutic touch, has always been part of healing - both physically and emotionally. When essential oils are combined with massage oils, the benefits are numerous. Massage improves circulation, lymphatic drainage, and aids in the elimination of tissue waste. The oils bring healing, peace and tranquility as well as keen mental awareness.
Our
blends can be
used as
massage oils, with or without
essential oils added, and as carrier oils when dilution of essential
oils is
required for skin applications.

Premium
blend
unscented Containing
cold pressed sweet almond, wheatgerm and soyabean oils. Sweet Almond
Oil is probably the most widely used oil for massage and skin care due
to it’s
medium consistency and mild scent. Oleic and linoleic fatty acids make
up the
bulk of the oil properties with traces
of over 9 other fatty acids. Wheatgerm
oil is a great source of naturally occurring Vitamin E, which is an
antioxidant. It is high in linoleic acid, palmitic and oleic acids. The
soybean
oil has quite a high unsaturated fatty acid content and is second to
wheatgerm
oil in it’s Vitamin E content.

Luxury blend unscented Made out
of cold
pressed
jojoba, apricot
kernel
and unrefined avocado oils,
our luxury blend is more of a skin care
product than a massage oil. Jojoba oil is often used alone as a facial
oil as
it contains natural collagen, which is almost identical in structure to
the
collagen present in our skin. Apricot kernel oil has high content of
oleic and
linoleic acids and is a source of vitamin A. To complete the blend,
avocado oil
is added as it is one of the richest oils in vitamins as it contains
vitamin A,
D, C, E, B6 as well as proteins, lecithin linoleic and oleic acids.

Jojoba American -
(Simmondsia chinensis) Origin: USA Extraction: Cold press of the seeds. Jojoba
oil is
perfect to dilute essential oils for topical applications or as perfume
base. It helps moisturize and keeps the skin supple, smooth and soft
while being non-greasy and leaving no oily after-feel. It will not clog
pores. Jojoba oil is known as a skin rejuvenator as it contains natural
collagen almost identical to the collagen present in our skin.

Essential
oils intended for aromatherapy massage need to be diluted in a natural
base oil
(carrier oil). Dilution should be at rates of 0.5% to 3% depending on
the
intensity of the fragrance of the essential oil and the conditions for
which it
is applied. As a guide for blending, 1% dilution = 1 drop of essential
oil for
5 ml of carrier oil (2%, 2 drops for same quantity of carrier oil, and
so
forth). Carrier oils should be unrefined and are health treatment by
themselves. Some oils contain naturally occurring nutrients such as
vitamins D
and E, essential fatty acids and trace of minerals, all of which are
highly
beneficial to the skin. A blend of carrier oils offers the benefits of
the
active elements and specific nutrients of the different oils of the
blend.
