There are many carrier oils for essential oils, salves, and lotions each have their individual benefits for your skin, hair, and face.  Certified pure tested grade doTERRA essential oils are extremely potent and should almost

always be diluted when used topically.  Be sure to always dilute essential oils before applying on a child, the elderly or someone with sensitive skin.  Diluting essential oils with a carrier oil does make them less potent without

altering the essential oils therapeutic benefit, in fact the carrier oil helps to penetrate easily.  Mixing essential oils with a carrier oil is a must in nearly every situation.  I like to use fractionated coconut oil because the properties

of hydrating the skin, it absorbs well, is odorless and easily purchased.
