What are carrier oils?

Carrier oil, also known as base oil or vegetable oil, is used to dilute essential oils and absolute before they are applied to the skin in massage and aromatherapy. They carry the essential oil into the skin. They do not contain concentrated aroma, unlike essential oils. Ogam Aromatherapy offers a range of 6 different carrier oils, each with various therapeutic properties. Choosing an oil will depend on the area being massaged, the presenting conditions and the client’s sensitivity or requirements. Carrier oils can be easily blended to combine their properties of viscosity, acceptability, lubrication, absorption and aroma to suit your needs.

Why Essential Oils?  Nature knows best.

We all love to be inspired by nature. We believe passionately that our environment is of vital importance, both in its own right and as the source of many of the plants and herbs vital to our wellbeing. Aromatherapy is the practice of using aromatic plant extracts or essential oils, manufactured by steam distillation from the bark, flowers, spices, leaves, stems, roots and resin of abundant plants. Each oil works by aiding natural balance within the body and has its own unique smell and healing properties.

Essential oils can have beneficial physical, emotional and mental effects on the body. Nature, our most vital supply chain partner, offers us endless insights into the pharmacological benefits that Aromatherapy can aid. We continue to grow our ranges to help you in this modern-day, mentally challenging fast-paced life.
