Carrier oils are extracted from various parts of plants, such as seeds, nuts, and kernels, through methods like cold pressing or solvent extraction. These oils are rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, which offer their own health benefits. The term "carrier" refers to the oil's ability to carry essential oils into the skin, facilitating their absorption and helping to disperse the concentrated essential oil over a larger area.
