Fragrant oils are either synthetic fragrances or essential oils which have been mixed or diluted with carrier oils, alcohol or commercial chemicals or additives.
The carrier oils such as sweet almond or Avocado, need to be refined to remove the remains of the nuts they are extracted from, as with Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter.
Carrier oils are fixed-fatty vegetable oils like, almond, grapeseed, apricot, sunflower, etc.

Carrier Oils may be applied directly on the skin, and/or essential oils may be added for use as body, bath or massage oils.
Essential oils are normally applied to the skin after diluting them in carrier oils or various skin care products.
Carrier oils then provide the necessary lubrication to allow the hands to move freely over the skin and not 'drag', whilst at the same time helping with the absorption of essential oils into the body.

Essential oils can also be added to a neutral carrier oil to create a perfume for everyday wear which also has inherent healing benefits for the wearer.
Essential oils are pure and natural and by using a carrier oil you may apply directly to the skin and reap the therapeutic benefits along with the fragrance.
Base or carrier oils are used for the application of essential oils to the skin and add to the overall positive effects of the treatment.
