About Carrier Oils
You'll find detailed profiles for oils including sweet almond, jojoba, rosehip, marula, argan, baobab, hemp seed, sea buckthorn, evening primrose, avocado, apricot kernel, grapeseed, sunflower, castor oil, and many more. Each guide covers the oil's fatty acid composition, comedogenic rating, absorption rate, key skin and hair benefits, shelf life, storage requirements, and best-use applications — giving you everything you need to choose the right oil for your formulation or skin type. We also cover practical blending principles: how to combine carrier oils for synergistic benefits, how to build a dry skin blend versus an oily skin blend, and how to formulate for scalp and hair treatments. If you're new to carrier oils, our beginner guides explain the difference between carrier oils and essential oils, how to perform a patch test, and which oils are best to start with. For more advanced formulators, we dive into oxidation science, how to extend shelf life with antioxidants like vitamin E and rosemary extract, and how to read an MSDS or certificate of analysis.
