Susan has given me my greatest insight into the carrier oils and the many benefits and effects they can bring. I have thoroughly enjoyed this new knowledge and gained great inspiration. Carrier oils have now opened a whole new world to me and given me a greater understanding of blending.”

~Beverley Higham

Not all oils are created equal.
Carrier oils each have unique properties that impact not only skin feel, but also the effectiveness, stability, and shelf life of your final product.


Inside The Carrier Oil Companion, you’ll learn exactly how to choose the right oils based on:

  • Skin needs and concerns
  • Product goals and formulation types
  • The plants you’re infusing
  • And the essential oils you’re working with

Every oil brings its own chemistry to the table: its fatty acid profile, absorption rate, stability, and therapeutic properties all play a role in how it performs in your creations.

Whether you’re crafting a healing herbal salve, a nourishing face oil, or a deeply therapeutic aromatherapy blend you can be 100% confident you are choosing the most effective carrier oils.
