Base Oils

What Are Aphrodisiac Base Oils?

In the world of aromatherapy, base oils are the starting point to learn more about the skin, getting to know the ins and outs of base oils for skin and how beneficial they are. Just as there is a base where all the foundation lies, similarly, these organic base oils are the ‘base,’ the medium where the essential oils are diluted before application to the skin. These oils are an impeccable source of nutrition for the skin, leaving your skin all supple, plump, and glowing.

Not alone, but there are different types of base oils for essential oils and base oils for massage. Some of these include:

• Virgin Almond Oil: These are perfect for dehydrated skin and have non-allergic properties. It can be used for children and applied to cases where the skin becomes excessively dry and damaged due to UV rays.

• Apricot Kernel Oil: With the percentage of vitamin E and vitamin C, these base oils work best for bettering the skin tone and complexion, promoting a natural glow, and showing a visible reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. This essential oil is deemed the best for the face and areas of delicate skin.

• Avocado Oil: Enriched with the goodness of vitamins A and B, these are organic base oils, which can beat the heat and repair skin damage that your skin has gone through. This oil contains “oleic acids,” which aid in propelling collagen production and synthesis in the skin.

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Rich in alpha-linolenic acid, extra virgin olive oil is highly moisturizing and protects the skin barrier.

• Olive Oil: A light, odorless oil that is beneficial for oily skin and high in linoleic acid and vitamin E. It helps tighten and tone the skin and treat acne because of its moisturizing and mildly astringent qualities.

• Jojoba Oil: Jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-ba) is a liquid wax that resembles the sebum produced by our skin and is sometimes confused with oil. A base oil for skin that is adaptable and can be used to lessen both the dryness of the skin and the excessive oil production that causes acne.

• Wheat Germ Oil: Another base oil for skin that is suitable for both damaged, aging, dry, and scarred skin. It helps in preventing stretch marks during pregnancy. Being non-sticky, this is non-comedogenic and is considered a light base.
