VEGETABLE OILS
VEGETABLE OILS help carry essential oils into the skin with massage, and they also have dynamic properties of their own. There are hundreds of vegetable/carrier oils on the market, many of which have over lapping properties. We stock a small selection of oils, which we are continually buying fresh to ensure they reach our customers in good condition. Our selection is as follows:
