13 carrier oils for essential oils

Vegetable oil

 

As a source of lipids for the body, carrier oils play an essential role in the body. Thus, they participate in the renewal of cell membranes and are also conductors of several vitamins in the human body, in particular vitamin E, which is recommended for its antioxidant virtues. It neutralises free radicals and therefore prevents the ageing of cells (dermis, red blood cells, blood vessels, etc.). Here are the 13 most used carrier oils:
