New Beginnings

This blog has helped me learn so much about myself and about the 'behind the scenes stuff' that makes a website work.  This blog has followed me and been my outlet throughout the changes in my life over the years.  Now it is time for me to move on to different interests and explore new passions.  I want to leave this site as a resource for others.  I still love getting emails of how I helped you clean a jet bath tub (lol!) or how my advice helped you prepare for your 1st craft show.  Thank you to all of the readers who took the time to reach out and let me know how my posts helped you in your life.  I appreciate you.

I'm going to be concentrating my time on my shop -->  www.simpleisessential.com

Come for a visit :)

Apricot Kernel Carrier Oil

Apricot kernel carrier oil is great for all skin types. It is high in vitamin A and nourishes skin. Apricot oil has very little scent and therefore it works well with essential oils, and makes it very popular with massage therapists and aromatherapists. It absorbs easily into the skin and has a long shelf life with proper storage. Refrigeration is recommended after opening.

Apricot Kernel Carrier Oil is available in 3 sizes:

1 oz (30 ml) –> www.etsy.com/listing/267351477
2 oz (60 ml) –> www.etsy.com/listing/267463322
8 oz (236 ml) –> www.etsy.com/listing/267464402


Coconut Fractionated Carrier Oil

Coconut fractionated carrier oil does not go solid at room temperature. As a part of its processing, it is refined, clarified and deodorized but still retains all its moisturising characteristics. This oil stays clear and in a liquid form and is therefore very popular in lotions, creams, hair care products and cosmetic products.

Coconut fractionated oil produces a barrier on the skin to lock in moisture but does not clog pores. This oil has no scent and is a very popular choice for massage therapists and aromatherapists. Refrigeration is not needed and this oil has a very long shelf life.

Jojoba Carrier Oil

Jojoba carrier oil is actually not an oil at all, it is a liquid wax. It is high in vitamin E and nourishes the skin. This oil has been processed through a charcoal filter to remove color and odor, but still retains all its skin nourishing benefits. Massage therapists sometimes use small amounts if Jojoba oil in their carrier oil blends to extend their shelf life. Jojoba oil can clog pores so care should be used when adding it to carrier oils. Jojoba oil creates a barrier on the skin and leaves a satiny finish.

Jojoba oil may get cloudy if left in cool conditions. Use a warm water bath to place the closed bottle in, to return it to its normal state.

Jojoba Carrier Oil is available in 2 sizes:

1 oz (30 ml) –> www.etsy.com/listing/267361085
2 oz (60 ml) –> www.etsy.com/listing/267460440


Sweet Almond Carrier Oil

Sweet almond carrier oil is great at softening and reconditioning skin. It is high in vitamin D, proteins and Olein Glyceride Linoleic Acid. Sweet almond oil soothes dry and irritated skin, which makes it very popular with massage therapists and aromatherapists. Please note that it will leave a slight oily feeling on the skin.

It has a long shelf life with proper storage. Refrigeration after opening is recommend. Can stain sheets and fabric.
