How to use carrier oils

A carrier oil is a plant oil you use on its own or as the base for essential oils. Each of ours is a single ingredient, with nothing added, so you can check exactly what you are putting on your skin.

Coconut oil is light and suits hair and body. Sweet almond oil is a gentle all-rounder for massage and the face. Kalonji (black seed) oil and neem oil are traditionally added to hair oil blends. Bakuchi oil, a plant source of bakuchiol, and gotu kola oil, cold-pressed from centella seeds, are used a few drops at a time on the face. Use bakuchi oil at night, as it can make skin more sensitive to the sun.

To make your own blend, add two to three drops of an essential oil to one teaspoon of carrier oil, and patch-test before use.

Questions about carrier oils

Can I mix rosemary oil with coconut oil?

Yes. Rosemary essential oil must always be diluted. Add three to five drops to a tablespoon of coconut oil, massage it into the scalp and wash it out after an hour or the next morning.

How do I use bakuchi oil on skin?

Patch-test first. At night, use two or three drops of Bakuchi Oil alone or mixed into your moisturiser. Start two or three nights a week. Bakuchi seed oil can make skin sensitive to sun, so wear sunscreen the next day.

Is gotu kola oil good for the face?

Yes, especially for dry or sensitive skin. Press two or three drops of Gotu Kola Oil onto clean, slightly damp skin and massage until absorbed.

Is coconut oil good for hair fall?

It softens hair and helps reduce breakage from combing. It cannot stop hair fall caused by stress, illness or hormones. See a doctor if you are losing much more hair than usual.

How do I use kalonji oil for hair?

Massage Kalonji Oil into the scalp and lengths, leave it for 30 to 60 minutes or overnight, then wash with a mild shampoo. Patch-test first.

Is neem oil good for dandruff?

It is a traditional choice for a flaky scalp. Always dilute it in a carrier oil and never use it neat. Persistent dandruff needs a dermatologist.
