Castor Carrier Oil 100ml

Caster Carrier Oil
Our carrier oils are all specifically for blending with essential oils and are scentless.
The strength of Castor Oil as a remedy earned it the title “Palma Christi” or “Hand of Christ.” Its emulsifying properties make it protective as a barrier on the skin and protects it against harsh environmental conditions.
The benefits:

Slows the appearance of graying hairs and can be applied to the scalp to prevent hair from the further loss of pigment
Treats dry and damaged hair, making it thicker, shinier, softer, and smoother
Delays signs of aging by moisturizing, softening and soothing the skin, boosting elasticity, and stimulating collagen production
Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties
Hydrates the skin combating dryness and reduces the appearance of unwanted blemishes and scars when applied regularly

A carrier oil is an oil that is made from natural plants and is used for diluting essential oils so that they can be carried to the skin – hence the name. When using essential oil for massage purposes, you run the risk of irritation or burning if you apply it directly onto the skin since essential oils are very strong and powerful.

Carrier oils are “fixed oils” which don’t evaporate from the surface of the skin and can be used as base oils for massage to eliminate this risk without interfering with the aroma and characteristics of the essential oil itself since carrier oils are entirely fragrance-free.

Extracted from vegetables, seeds, kernels, or nuts, carrier oils are a key element of aromatherapy massages, allowing a potent essential oil to be used on the skin safely. Although they are unscented, they have their own components and characteristics, with different colours, viscosities, and penetration speeds, and they lubricate the skin to allow for easy and effective massage without making it sticky.

Some of the most popular carrier oils include avocado, sweet almond, and grapeseed, but there are many more options, all of which are light and pleasant to apply to the skin.
