The wonderful properties of natural carrier oils in natural cosmetics
Natural carrier oils are plant-based oils used in skin care to safely apply essential oils to the skin. These oils moisturize, nourish the skin and protect it from external influences. They play a crucial role, especially for sensitive skin, as they mitigate the potentially irritating properties of essential oils. In addition, carrier oils are rich in vitamins, antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids that provide intensive care for the skin. For example, jojoba oil helps regulate the skin’s natural balance, while almond oil provides deep hydration.
From a health perspective, carrier oils help improve skin elasticity and counteract the signs of aging. Due to their content of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, they support collagen production in the skin, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance. In addition, many carrier oils have anti-inflammatory properties that can relieve irritation, redness and acne. Avocado oil is particularly suitable for dry and sensitive skin and accelerates skin regeneration thanks to its content of vitamins A, D and E.
Natural carrier oils are not only important for skin health, but also for general well-being. In aromatherapy, they allow essential oils to gently penetrate the skin and have a relaxing effect, reduce stress and increase general well-being. Carrier oils such as coconut oil in particular have a positive effect on hair health by strengthening the hair structure. Thanks to these oils, your skin care routine will not only be effective, but also natural.
