Buy high-quality carrier oils for your natural skincare

The world of natural cosmetics begins with the right foundation. Those who want to make their own natural cosmetics will inevitably come across the term base oils. These vegetable oils form the foundation for almost every recipe, whether as a rich body oil, nourishing facial oil, or as a gentle carrier oil for our pure essential oils. In our assortment, you will find a hand-picked selection of first-class oils that directly supply your skin with valuable fatty acids.

But why are base oils so essential? In contrast to mineral oils, which lie on the skin like a film, vegetable fats penetrate deep into the lipid layer. They support the barrier function and transport the active ingredients of essential oils to where they are needed. Discover the variety of plant power now and find the perfect oil for your individual needs.

The Ideal Carrier Oil: The Bridge to Our Essential Oils

A high-quality carrier oil is key to safely applying the concentrated power of essential oils to the skin. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should almost never be applied undiluted. This is where our base oils come in: they dilute the essences, make them spreadable, and simultaneously nourish the skin.

Popular Combinations for Your Well-being:

  • Pure relaxation: Combine mild almond oil with a few drops of lavender oil for a soothing body ritual before bedtime.
  • Fresh boost: Jojoba oil combined with citrus scents or eucalyptus is excellent for an invigorating massage oil after sports.
  • Skin soothing: Avocado oil forms a protective base for gentle oils like chamomile to regenerate particularly stressed skin areas.

Whether you suffer from dry skin or struggle with blemished skin – the combination of the right base oil and a carefully selected essential oil maximizes the nourishing effect of your DIY cosmetics.

Make your own natural cosmetics: Your checklist for perfect mixtures

Creating your own personal care products means full control. When you make your own natural cosmetics, you can precisely control the scent intensity and nourishing effect. Here is your checklist for the perfect blend of carrier oils and essential essences:

  1. Choose the base: Select a neutral oil like jojoba or almond oil as the foundation for your face oil or body oil.
  2. The scent experience: Choose the right note for your mood from our range of essential oils (e.g., relaxing, focused, or refreshing).
  3. Observe the dosage: For body care, 5-10 drops of essential oil per 50 ml of carrier oil are often sufficient (example).
  4. Storage: Since both components are light-sensitive, it's best to store your mixtures in dark glass bottles in a cool place.
  5. Skin test: Always test new mixtures on a small area of skin first (e.g., inside of the elbow).

Application Tips for Body Oil and Face Oil

Vegetable oils are most effective when applied to damp skin. This creates a spontaneous emulsion that penetrates deeply.

Your wellness ritual at home:

  1. Cleanse the skin thoroughly.
  2. Apply your self-mixed oil to skin still damp from showering or washing.
  3. Gently massage in the mixture. The base oil delivers the fragrant active ingredients deep into the skin without leaving a heavy greasy film.

Especially for blemished skin, this process helps to keep pores clear while the essential components can unfold their clarifying effect.

Frequently Asked Questions about Base Oils & Combinations (FAQ)

Why do I need a carrier oil for essential oils?

Essential oils are too strong for direct skin contact. A carrier oil protects the skin from irritation and ensures even distribution.

Which oil is best as an all-rounder?

Almond oil and jojoba oil are ideal all-rounders, as they are very well tolerated and blend harmoniously with almost all essential oils.

How long does my homemade oil last?

This depends on the base oil used. Jojoba oil is very stable and often extends the shelf life of the entire mixture. Usually about 6 months (example).

Can I mix different carrier oils?

Yes! For example, you can mix avocado oil for richness with light jojoba oil to create the ideal body oil for your needs.
