Facial oils have become a skincare essential these days. While smelling essential oils is enough to reap their aromatherapy benefits, for applying them to skin you need a Carrier Oil. The supporting actor to Essential Oils star presence, carrier oils, are subtle and understated, doing the duty of feeding and nourishing the skin while delivering the benefits and properties of Essential Oils.
Savour and Aura is a brand bringing forth an array of perfumes and essential oils. The brand amalgamates modern fragrances with the inherent rootedness of India – taking customers on an olfactory journey. Carrier Oils are also important from a safety perspective, since Essential Oils are so potent, they can irritate the skin when applied on their own. Some of the must-have carrier oils from the brand include:
Apricot Kernel Oil
A general purpose oil and a great choice to be included in carrier oil blends, it works on all skin types. It is softening, moisturising, soothing and has anti-ageing benefits. The oil has multiple uses that combat dryness, inflammation and irritation and improve skin elasticity. Containing Vitamin E, Omega 9 and 6 fatty acids, this oil has a lot to offer.
Jojoba Carrier Oil
A lesser known skincare secret, Jojoba Oil comes with hydrating, anti-ageing and anti-acne properties. Best known as a crystalline wax that’s liquid at room temperature, it’s subtle aroma creates a beautiful base to infuse with other ingredients making it a complementary ingredient in perfumery. The benefit of this oil is that its structure closely mirrors the building blocks of the skin, so the skin recognises it as its own. It is a great carrier oil as it enhances the potency of other oils and helps tackle scars, stretch marks, redness improving the quality of the skin.
Cucumber Carrier Oil
Don’t sleep on this oils skincare qualities! Cucumber Seed Oil is extracted from the dried seeds of densely cleaned cucumbers.
