When using essential oils for daily skin care and during massage it is undesirable to use essential oils in pure form (undetected). They can be diluted with oil, which will be the foundation.

Oil basics are easily and evenly distributed over the skin and help healing essential oils are faster absorbed. A number of oils, especially suitable for mixing with essential oils, also have properties that are beneficial affecting a person (for example, containing vitamins A, D, E), especially if they are extracted by cold pressing. Cold pressure is a way to extract oils without the use of thermal processing or chemicals. Although the oils obtained in this way may be more expensive, but they maintain large nutrients than in oils produced by other methods.

In addition, these carrier oils can help in establishing a balance and stabilization of essential oil. Vitamin E in oil from wheat sprouts, for example, acts as an antidote and enhances the recovery effect of massage oil, if the extract is mixed with another vegetable oil.

The best carrier oils are almond, from grape bones, soybeans, wheat sprouts, peach and apricot nuclei, avocado, corn, sunflower seeds, calendula and castor. They are quite often used in.

Oil must have the ability to easily penetrate through the skin. Some love to use fragrant oils, such as coconut, sesame or olive, others prefer to use oil with a slight own odor. You have a big choice.

For example, almond oil Get from sweet almonds. It has nutrient and renewable properties and useful for dry wrinkled hands, with eczema and skin irritation. This is one of the best universal media, it can be applied even with babies massage.

Basic oils up to the will are universal, so when selecting oils, it is best to navigate on individual features and try each oil on yourself, it is ideal, but there are also certain recommendations for the selection that we will speak on.

Also, oil should not be divided by age aspect, unlike the creams of basic oils there are no such restrictions.

Oxidation of basic oils

In order to choose the right oil, you also need to know about the ability to oxidize some basic oils. The oxidation process is characterized by oils, which is a lot of polyunsaturated fatty acids, It is activated by sunlight and warmth. Oils are destroyed both inside the skin and on its surface, during destruction toxic substances are formed, due to which pigment spots appear, allergies, irritation on the skin. Therefore, easily oxidized oils are used more in cosmetics for night care, they can also be used in the composition of day cosmetics, but for this they need to be stabilized using basic lipids (for example, jojoba oil, fenco meadow, squalan).

Basic oils are divided into groups depending on their functions and features.

1. Stabilizing oils (group B0, can be from 20 to 50% of the mixture).

Do not oxidize, do not irritate the skin, low activity, are used in sunscreens.

  • Broccolly oil - plant replacement silicone. Contains a large amount of erukic acid, so it is rarely used in cosmetic products for the skin, more suitable for hair.
  • Jojoba oil is universal in use. Used and as the basis and as an additive in a mixture of oils. Very resistant to the oxidation, the effects of bacteria, has a long protective effect, does not create a feeling of fatty on the skin. The same properties possesses the oil of the meadow.
  • Squalane (vegetable) - produced from olive oil. Used mainly as the basis for the oil mixture, can be used as an additive. Very stable for oxidation.
  • Marula oil - sufficiently resistant to oxidation.
  • Caprilik triglycerides (Capril). They produce from palm and coconut oils, the base is a capricated or whimping acid. They have excellent spreadability, stable to oxidation, do not irritate the skin, as they are an emolent.


2. Careful basic oils (The group B1, B2 and B3 can be 50-70% of the mixture).

  • Oleic acid prevails. Stable to oxidation, lungs, possess protective and caring properties, leave a slight feeling of fatty on the skin. Effective in massage tools are used in sunscreens. Representatives - Macadamia oil, avocado, forest walnut, sunflower (highly olenic), apricot bones, almonds, camellia, olives.
  • B2 - Balance of polyunsaturated and mononaturated acids. You can apply without additives. Careful and protective properties. Representatives are rice bran oil, Argan, Sesame, Baobab.
  • B3 - Linoleic acid prevails. They have regenerating and strengthening properties, improve the barrier function of the skin, well moisturize, easily absorbed into the skin, without creating a fatty film. They are injected into the daily mixtures, as an additive, combined with the oils of groups B1, B2. Representatives are sunflower (usual), grape seed oil, safflower, soybean, amaranths, germ wheat, walnut, poppy seeds.

3. Active oils (W1, W2, W3, can be 5-10% for safety purposes).

  • W1 - oils with dominant alpha linolenic acid. Stimulate the operation of the cells of the epidermis, possess regenerating properties. Cannot be used in the sun. Representatives are hemp oil, sea buckthorn, roses Moscow, Inca-Inch, elderberry, cranberries (for day creams).
  • W2 - oils with dominant gamma-linolenic acid. Possess reignificant and anti-inflammatory properties. Cannot be used and the sun. Representatives - Borago Oil, Evening Primulla Oil, Black Currant.
  • W3 - oils containing rare acids. Stimulate the operation of the cells of the epidermis, they have regenerating and healing properties can not be used in the sun. Representatives - garnet seed oil, black cumin, sea buckthorn oil (1 drop of 10 gr. Mixtures).

4. Vegetable solid oils (Butter, group PF1, PF2).

  • PF1 is a large percentage of saturated (unlimited) fatty acids with long chains, due to which, at room temperature, they have a solid consistency. Principal protective properties are penetrated into the deep layers of the skin, leaving the trail. This is, for example, mango oil, she, cappuas, cocoa.
  • PF2 - triglycerides, high content of saturated acids with short and medium chains. Quickly absorbed the skin, almost no bold trail. When adding to emulsion mixtures, give a light, pleasant to the touch, texture. Representatives - coconut oil, Babass oil. Frequently used to create logges.

Combination rules for oils

1. From the group B0, we choose the stabilizing oil.

2. Select caring oils from groups B1-B3. You can choose one option, for this it is best to suit the balanced oils of the B2 group, or choose the mixture - B2 and B3, B1 and B3, B1 and B2. For daily or light summer mixtures, a combination of B1 and B2 will fit.

3. From the group of active, choose oil, depending on the necessary effect, the advantage is given to the oils of groups W1 and W2.

4. We also add batter from the PF1 group. It is found at a concentration of 10-30% of the fatty phase, or in a clean version of 10 -50%, diluted with other oils.

5. To improve the quality of the emulsion, oil from the PF2 group is added. Thanks to them, there is no sensation of stickiness. If you add a squalane, then there is no need to add other oils from this group.

In working with essential oils, it is not without the so-called basic oils. Whatever you want to do with essential oil, you need to remember that in a clean, undiluted form, they cannot be applied to the skin in any case, it is fraught with burns and allergies. Base oils are used to dissolve essential oils before use, thereby becoming possible to make their safe applying to the skin.

We will understand in terms

Why speak differently - vegetable oils, fixed oils, basic oils, carrier oils?

The term "carrier oils" is usually used only when they talk about aromatherapy. When it comes to the manufacture of skin care products, such terms as "vegetable oils", "fixed oils" and "basic oils" are used. Not all fixed and basic oils are vegetable. EMU Oil (it is obtained from fat deposits of Ostrich EMU) and fish oil are classified as fixed and base oils, but they, like any other oils of animal origin, are usually not used in aromatherapy.

We will use the term "basic oils", as the most neutral, and not to use it to oils not vegetable origin.

Basic oils are oils obtained from those parts of the plant that contain the greatest amount of fats - usually seeds, bones or nuts.

All carrier oils have different combinations of beneficial properties and other characteristics, from which the choice of oil depends. Natural lotions, creams, body oils, bath oil, lip balms and other nutritious and moisturizers for skin are produced using basic oils. From what etheric and base oils are part of the product, its useful properties, color, aroma and shelf life are dependent.

Essential oils, abs, extracts and other concentrated aromatic substances, if they apply them to the skin undeveloped, can cause severe irritation or, in some people, an allergic reaction. Very often, the reaction will be violent and will remain with you forever - that is, if you take advantage of the oil, which caused allergies, get a relapse. It is important to remember.

Essential and basic oils, what is the difference?

Essential oils are obtained, as a rule, by distillation and extraction from leaves, bark, colors, roots and other most fragrant parts of plants. Essential oils evaporate and have a concentrated aroma. Basic oils are obtained by pressing their seeds, nuts, bones; They are fat, they do not evaporate and have a significantly less severe fragrance. Over time, base oils, in contrast to essential, can become ruling. Essential oils over time or in violation of storage rules are oxidized and lose their beneficial properties.

The smell of basic oils

Some carrier oils do not smell at all, and most have a weak sweet, nut aroma. Strong, bitter fragrance at base oil is a faithful sign that it rank.

Some vegetable oils that are used in aromatherapy as basic carrier oils:

  • sweet almond oil
  • cukui oil
  • apricot bone oil
  • macadamia oil
  • avocado oil
  • oil from the cucumber seeds (Borago)
  • camellia oil
  • olive oil
  • peanut butter
  • cranberry seed oil

  • sea \u200b\u200bbuckthorn oil

Solid vegetable oils

Solid vegetable oils (they are also called batters) - for example, cocoa oil and shea oil, can also be used in aromatherapy and are absolutely indispensable in the manufacture of home cosmetics. In terms of its properties, they are similar to ordinary carrier vegetable oils, but at room temperature they are solid. Butters most often in the production process take place various types of treatment, so buying them, it is especially important to check the extraction method. The most useful, of course, are solid cold spin oils.

In aromacosmetics it is important to find a good base for essential oils, because essential oils are highly concentrated vegetable essences, and require dilution. In a mixture with vegetable oils, essential oils are better perceived by the skin.

In proportion to the oil, the carrier requires only a few drops of essential oil, in a similar way in cooking for the preparation of a dish, it is only a pinch of herbs or spices. Vegetable vegetable oils obtained by cold seal methods are usually used as carrier carriers in aromatherapy and minerals. They literally "carry" essential oils into the body, lubricate the skin, allowing the aromatherapy handes easily slide along the massable body.

Oils obtained in the process of hot extraction, although much cheaper, but for aromatherapy are completely unsuitable due to poor quality. The carrier component of the base, oil must be crude and not treated with any chemicals. The stronger treatment with vegetable oils, the less vitamins remain in them. On the oil factories can add dyes and other components, which is also undesirable. For aromatherapy purposes, always use oils (we are talking about non-volatile oils, and not about the essential) crude, without any additives, prefer the oil of the first cold spin. It is unlikely to find such oils on the shelves of the nearest supermarket.

Mineral oils (purified, lungs derived from oil), for example, such as baby oil, should never be used in aromatherapy as bearing oil. Mineral oils tend to cloculate the pores, while some vegetable oil molecules are absorbed by passing through the skin. In mineral oils there are no nutritional components in vegetable: vitamins, minerals, fatty acids - they feed and improve the skin. Mineral oil is used in the cosmetic industry due to its ability not to deteriorate. But it remains on the skin like an oil film on the water and makes it difficult to skin breathing.

The shelf life of the carrier, base oil depends on the content of fatty acids and vitamin E. Vegetable oils with a high content of saturated fatty acids are preserved longer than those who have a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. The content of vitamin E also increases the shelf life of the carrier oil. Read more about the shelf life in .

If you have very sensitive skin, then you may have an allergic reaction to certain types of carrier oils, and you should be tested for skin testing to allergies.

Hi, dear my readers!

I decided to make such a page where I will make links to all my posts about the best basic oils so that all those who need such information could find everything you need in it immediately, and not climb in search of the desired material throughout the blog.

First I want to give a small characteristic of basic oils and determine their properties and application.

From this article you will learn:

Basic oils - properties and application

Basic oils - It is natural vegetable fats obtained from plants by the method of hot and cold pressing, liquid extraction.

Types of basic oils

  • Basic oils are solid (batters) consist mainly of saturated fatty acids.
  • Liquid (fat), which consist of a large part of unsaturated fatty acids and due to the presence of double bonds in their molecules, they are quickly oxidized, sensitive to the action of microorganisms and heating.

What base oils are more useful?

The most useful for the skin are oils obtained by cold pressing.

The lowest-quality oils obtained by the extraction method and their use in cosmetics is undesirable.

Basic oils in cosmetology

Today, the basic oils added to cosmetics play the role not only the basics, but also biologically active components.

They not only ensure the penetration of other Bav in the skin, but also affect the physiological processes in the skin.

Especially valuable in this regard oil containing: Linoleic, alpha-linolenic and gamma linolen (omega3 and omega 6)

For the normal functioning of the skin, these acids should enter the body in the right ratio, the range 4: 1-1: 1.

With the lack of these acids, it begins to peel, it becomes dry and irritated.

The basic oils can also include such valuable components such as carateinoids, phytosterols, squalene, tocopherol.

Basic base oil functions

  1. Formation of the epidermal barrier (fats are necessary for the formation of lipid layers of the horn layer)
  2. Participation in the metabolism of biologically active molecules
  3. Increase the permeability of the horn layer for other active ingredients.

In addition to the fact that they can be used as full-fledged cosmetic products for the care of any parts of the body, given their properties, they serve as the basis for the preparation of home cosmetics and a variety of mixtures with.

Just go through them and read about the properties and apply the base oil you need. All specias are very detailed and understandable.
