frequently asked
What is a carrier oil?
A carrier oil dilutes concentrated essential oils so they can be applied to skin safely, and forms the base of massage blends, roll-on perfumes, hair treatments and body oils. Sweet almond is one of the most popular carriers because it is lightweight, absorbs without a heavy residue, and its subtle nutty aroma sits quietly behind the oils you blend into it.
Can I make natural perfume with it?
Yes. Sweet almond oil is a classic base for oil-based and roll-on perfumes. Blend your essential oils into the carrier, transfer with a pipette, and bottle. Start with a small test blend and record your ratios so you can repeat the result. You will find bottles, testers and more in our perfume making supplies.
Can I use it in candles or wax melts?
It can be added to wax, but natural oils may discolour wax, so testing a small batch first is recommended. For scent throw in candles, our fragrance oils are formulated specifically for wax and give a stronger, more consistent result.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Sweet almond oil is gentle and suits a wide range of skin types, but it is a tree nut derivative, so anyone with a nut allergy should avoid it. Always patch test before wider use, and if you sell your creations, list the full ingredient line on your labels so your customers can check it.
Which size should I buy?
The 500ml is the easy way to trial blends or run a small batch. The 2.5kg and 5kg drop the price per kilo, so they suit regular production runs. All three are the same refined oil, only the pack size changes.
