Absolutely, olive oil can serve as an excellent carrier oil. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils before they're applied to the skin.
Olive oil is a great choice due to its gentle nature and compatibility with most skin types.
Its thicker consistency allows for slower absorption of essential oils, extending their benefits.
It's important to use extra virgin olive oil, as it's less processed and retains more nutrients.
However, remember that all carrier oils, including olive oil, can turn rancid over time. Store it in a cool, dark place to extend its shelf life.
For rapid absorption, our customers swear by these options:
- Jojoba oil: Mimics skin's natural oils for quick penetration
- Fractionated coconut oil: Light and fast-absorbing
- Grapeseed oil: Thin texture for speedy absorption

How to use carrier oils
The moisturising properties and gentle consistencies of carrier oils make them easy to use and ideal for creating your own all-natural remedies at home.
Not all carrier oils are built equal, so trying out the best ones for you based on scent, durability, and absorption is a great place to start.
A good rule of thumb to adopt when using carrier oils is to dilute 2 drops of your chosen essential oils with one teaspoon of carrier oil. This will then make the essential oil safe to apply all over your skin (but remember to perform a patch test first!)

Where are carrier oils sourced from?
In general, carrier oils are usually extracted from a vegetable, such as avocado or coconut; however, they can also be derived from nuts, seeds, and common plants or fruit kernels.
Most carrier oils are obtained via cold pressing, whereby the source of the oil is crushed without the use of heat in order to extract the oil from within it.
A lot of carrier oils are also associated with cooking; however, ensuring the oil is food-grade is an important step if you wish to use carrier oils in this way.
