Carrier Oils
Carrier Oils act as emollients and occlusives to add and lock in moisture. Rich in fatty acids, antioxidants, and tons of other good stuff, oils also nourish skin. Oils with small molecular structures can easily penetrate the skin, facilitating faster absorption which means a less "greasy" feel. Learn more about the individual oils we use below.
