Carrier Oils Back in Stock
Carrier oils (Fatty oils) are not moisturizers exactly. They do, however, play an important role in moisturizing and hydrating the skin. Applied after a spritz of hydrosol or combined with essential oils they create a barrier helping the nutrients to sink in.
Using a carrier oil can help improve softness, elasticity, and even natural sebum production.
Many also contain antioxidants and crucial vitamins combatting free radicals that can cause untimely wrinkles, lines, and scaliness.

St. John’s Wort infused in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Used for topical applications intended for pain relief
- Neuralgia, sciatica, and muscular rheumatism
- Anti-inflammatory
A recent study, published in the Journal of Clinical Aromatherapy found that St. John’s Wort infused oil as a carrier enhances both the analgesic and the anti-inflammatory effects of essential oils used with it.
Skincare : Alone St. John's Wort can be used to soothe irritated skin while helping to hold a calming relief barrier. Added to butters and lotions, it can add a healthy glow to skin while aiding in the absorption and retention of those extra components. With this in mind, be forewarned that if use undiluted St John's Wort over large areas of the body, it will turn your skin a little orange. Not many people going for that complexion, but if that's what you're into.... Rosehip Seed would be up your alley. (Know that Rosehip will ABSOLUTELY stain your skin orange if used neat, not just a nice glow. Amazing oil, but please dilute!)
