Based in Perth, we offer an extensive selection of quality carrier oils sourced from Australia and around the globe, available in various sizes... sizes to meet your specific needs.
What Are Carrier Oils?
Carrier oils, also known as base oils or vegetable oils, are derived from the fatty portions of plants - typically from seeds, kernels, or nuts. These nutrient-rich oils serve as the foundation for diluting essential oils, enabling safe and controlled application to the skin while providing their own therapeutic benefits. The term "carrier oil" reflects their primary function: they "carry" essential oils onto the skin. Unlike essential oils which evaporate quickly, carrier oils are non-volatile, making them perfect for:
- Diluting concentrated essential oils to safe levels
- Creating massage oils and aromatherapy blends
- Formulating natural skincare products
- Soap making and cosmetic manufacturing
- Direct application for skin and hair care
Each carrier oil offers a unique combination of therapeutic properties, fatty acid profiles, and characteristics. Understanding these differences helps you select the perfect oil for your specific application, whether you're creating products for professional use or personal care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are carrier oils used for?
Carrier oils are primarily used to dilute essential oils for safe skin application, but they also serve as ingredients in skincare products, massage oils, hair treatments, and soap making. Each carrier oil provides its own therapeutic benefits including moisturization, vitamin delivery, and skin protection.
How do carrier oils differ from essential oils?
Carrier oils are non-volatile vegetable oils extracted from seeds, nuts, or kernels that don't evaporate and can be applied directly to skin. Essential oils are highly concentrated, volatile aromatic compounds that evaporate quickly and must be diluted before skin application.
Can I use carrier oils directly on my skin?
Yes, most carrier oils can be applied directly to the skin without dilution. They provide natural moisturization and nourishment. However, it's always recommended to do a patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin.
How should I store carrier oils?
Store carrier oils in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep bottles tightly sealed and consider refrigeration for oils with shorter shelf lives. Most carrier oils will last 6-24 months when properly stored.
Can I mix different carrier oils together?
Absolutely! Blending carrier oils allows you to combine their unique properties. For example, mixing a fast-absorbing oil like Grapeseed with a richer oil like Avocado creates a balanced blend suitable for various skin types.
What's the recommended dilution ratio for essential oils?
For general adult use, a 2-3% dilution is standard (about 12-18 drops of essential oil per 30ml of carrier oil). For facial application, use 1-2% dilution. For children and sensitive skin, use 0.5-1% dilution.
Which carrier oil is best for sensitive skin?
Sweet Almond oil, Apricot Kernel oil, and Jojoba oil are generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin due to their gentle nature and similarity to skin's natural oils.
Do you offer organic carrier oils?
We stock both conventional and organic options for many of our carrier oils. Please check individual product listings or contact us for specific organic availability.
What sizes are available?
We offer various sizes to suit different needs, from smaller bottles for personal use to bulk containers for professional and manufacturing applications. Contact us for specific size availability for each oil.
Can I collect my order from your Perth location?
