FAQ
What is the difference between an essential oil and a carrier oil? +
Essential oils are concentrated aromatic extracts obtained from plants, while carrier oils are vegetable oils commonly used to dilute essential oils or as base ingredients in massage, skincare and cosmetic products. Their properties and recommended usage levels vary, so always check the individual product information.
Can essential oils be applied directly to the skin? +
Essential oils should not generally be applied undiluted. They normally need to be diluted in a suitable carrier oil or approved cosmetic formulation at an appropriate concentration. Usage levels depend on the oil, intended application and user group, so consult the relevant safety information before use.
Which carrier oil should I choose? +
The right carrier oil depends on the intended product, desired texture and target customer. Lighter oils may suit facial or massage blends, while richer oils can be useful for body care and more nourishing formulations. Compare each oil’s characteristics, specification and recommended applications before choosing.
Can these oils be used to create cosmetic products? +
Many essential and carrier oils can be used in cosmetic formulations, but suitability must be checked for each product and application. Finished cosmetics require an approved formulation, appropriate safety assessment, compliant labelling and any required market notification before being offered for sale.
How should essential and carrier oils be stored? +
Keep oils tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Correct storage helps protect their quality and slows oxidation. Follow any product-specific storage instructions and check the batch information, shelf life or best-before guidance provided.
