What is a Carrier Oil?
We've all heard of essential oils - but how can carrier oils help us use them?
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba Oil, revered for its skin-balancing properties, is a versatile carrier oil ideal for nourishing skin and hair. Its similarity to skin's natural sebum allows it to regulate oil production. With a non-comedogenic nature, it hydrates without clogging pores, suiting all skin types.
How to use jojoba oil
Jojoba oil is versatile and easy to use. For skin, mix it with your favourite essential oils and apply directly, or add it to your skincare products to enhance their moisturising properties.
It's also great for hair; massage a few drops into your scalp before shampooing or apply to damp hair to smooth frizz and add shine. You can even use jojoba oil to remove makeup.
Just apply a small amount to a cotton pad and gently wipe across your face.
How to dilute essential oils with jojoba oil
To dilute an essential oil with jojoba oil, follow the standard dilution ratio of 1-2% essential oil to 98-99% jojoba oil. For example, for 10ml of jojoba oil (about 2 teaspoons), you'd add 2-4 drops of essential oil.
Always stir the mixture well before use. It's vital to maintain proper dilution to avoid skin irritation.
If you're planning to use the blend on a larger skin area, such as in a body massage, it's advisable to keep the dilution rate even lower.
How to apply jojoba oil
Applying jojoba oil is simple.
For skin, use a few drops, either directly or mixed with your favourite skincare products, and massage gently into the skin until absorbed.
For hair, warm a small amount of oil in your hands, then work it into the scalp or smooth it over damp hair to tame frizz and boost shine.
As a makeup remover, place a few drops on a cotton pad and gently wipe your face. It's also a great carrier oil for essential oils - just remember to dilute properly (1-2% essential oil to jojoba oil).
