Carrier Oil is the most basic in making natural cosmetics. It is important to select and use an oil suitable for your skin according to the efficacy of the base oils, and you can expect better effects by using one oil alone or by mixing 2 to 4 oils.
In addition, highly concentrated essential oils must be diluted with other raw materials, but they are also called carrier oils because they gently carry and transport essential oil molecules deep into the skin. Representative oils include jojoba oil, argan oil, almond oil, and olive oil.
Refined vs Unrefined
Base oils are divided into refined and unrefined in the production process.
| Refined | Unrefined | |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Oil that has gone through refining processes such as deodorization, degumming, and discoloration in the process of producing oil. | Oil that comes out through at least a process in the process of producing oil. |
| Advantage | It has a transparent color and does not have a strong viscosity or scent, so there is little resistance. | Contains the maximum amount of various plant nutrients such as minerals, phospholipids, sugars, and proteins. |
| Disadvantage | During the refining process, oil-specific components may be lost and even the properties of the oil itself may change. | Depending on the type of plant, it may be objectionable due to its strong viscosity, color, and scent. |
