What is Essential Oil?

CARNATION’S Essential oil is concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile compounds from plants.

Essential oils are also known as hot-tempered /volatile oils, ethereal oils or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove.

Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using steam, seed and barks. It’s processes includes expression, solvent extraction, absolute oil extraction, resin tapping, wax embedding, and cold pressing.

They are used in perfumes , cosmetic, soapsand other products, for flavoring food and drink, and for adding scents to incense and household cleaning products.

Essential oil contains the soul/essence of the plant’s fragrance. The term “essential” used here does not mean indispensable/necessary or usable/utilizable by the human body skin, as with the terms essential amino acid or essential fatty acid, which are so called because they are nutritionally necessary by a given living organism.

Essential oils are often used for aromatherapy , a form of alternative medicine in which healing effects is ascribed to aromatic compounds.

What are carrier oils?

Carrier oils are those types of oils that are mostly/often used to dilute essential oils before applying them topically to your skin. Carrier oil is derived from plants; seeds, kernels or nuts. Carrier oil is named as carrier because they carry essential oils to the skin. Carrier oil is also known as natural or base oils.

Carrier oils have been around our life for centuries and we used it for baths, massage, skincare, and limited medicinal purposes. Carrier oil is a common component/ingredient in skin care products of all sorts.

Different natural oils have different composition and properties for the skin. That’s why they have different scents, colors, and even viscosity. Carrier oil contains fat-soluble vitamins, antioxidants, other nutrients, and minerals. These properties improve/get better/recover your skin in a numbers of ways like minimize the signs of aging, dark circles etc.

Because of their different characteristics/properties and composition, it’s not necessary that all carrier oils are excellent/great for all type of skin. It’s difficult to say which carrier oil is the exactly best for skin. There are different best categories, depending on skin type. Some are best for dry skin, some are for irritated skin and some are not usable for acne-prone skin because they may result acne breakouts.

Carrier oils also known as comedogenic oils. Comedogenic rating explains how oil clog/block/ choke skin pores on a scale from 0 to 5. Higher the scale of oil is the more likely it is to clog/block/choke the body pores. Safely use for oily skin check the more information/details.
