Aromatherapy with Argan Carrier Oil

This is pure, unadulterated Argan oil, a clear yellow liquid, which is rich in vit. E, antioxidants and carotene,



Argan oil is rich in skin-replenishing components, including flavanoids, oleic acid, linoleic acid and fatty acids. This is not a "new" oil, it's been available for a very long time but it's only now making its way to our part of the world.

The Argan tree grows solely in the southwestern part of Morocco. The oil is obtained from the nut which looks like a cross between a walnut and an almond.
Have a great day!

I case you miss, "what is a carrier oil?" and "why use a carrier oil?"

What are Carrier Oils?

Carrier oils are so named because they "carry" an essential oil (EO) to the skin. Carrier oils refer to base oils that are used to dilute essential oils before applying them directly to your skin.
Carrier oils play a far more significant role in aromatherapy than many people realise, and in comparison to the essential oils some people feel they are of little importance.
Choosing a carrier oil is exactly the same as choosing an essential oil really, - you choose one with the properties that you need for your particular needs.
