An excellent all-purpose carrier oil. Beneficial to many skin types—especially eczema prone skin types. Relieves itching, soreness, dryness, and inflammation. Helpful for burns and spider veins. Lubricating but does not absorb very well so it makes a good massage oil and a great oil for protecting from the elements.

Carrier oil is used to dilute essential oils before they are applied to the skin in massage and aromatherapy. Carrier oils transport essential oils through the skin and into the blood stream. Can also be used for skin and hair care.
