Aromatherapy - Aromatherapy Carrier & Infused Oils

Carrier oils and Infused Oils by Quinessence are vitamin rich and highly nutritious to the skin. Because they are cold pressed and unrefined, Quinessence carrier oils are rich in essential fatty acids which makes them highly nutritious to the skin.

These tremendously versatile carrier and infused oils have a wide range of uses apart from diluting pure essential oils for use in body massage. The natural skin softening and moisturising qualities of Calendula, Evening Primrose, Jojoba, Macadamia, Rosehip and St Johns Wort can all be used to soften fine lines, wrinkles and help balance an uneven complexion.
