This is the full oil range in one place — pure essential oils, carrier and base oils, perfumed body oils, home fragrance oils for burners, and ritual oils — gathered so you can compare the types before you buy. If you are not sure which kind you need, the sections below explain what each one is for and where to go next.
Benefits of Shopping the Full Range
Oils do very different jobs and the names overlap in confusing ways, so keeping them together makes the differences easy to see. An essential oil is a concentrated plant distillate. A carrier oil is the mild base you dilute it into. A body oil is made to wear on skin. A fragrance oil is made to scent a room. Browsing them side by side is usually quicker than working it out from a product title alone.
How to Choose an Oil
Start from what you want to do. To scent a room, look at fragrance oils or diffuser oils. To dilute an essential oil for massage or skincare, start with a carrier oil. To moisturise or wear a scent on your skin, choose a body oil. For a single botanical to blend yourself, choose an essential oil. Anything concentrated should be diluted before it touches skin, and anything intended for a burner should stay in the burner.
Popular Types
For the Skin
Carrier oils, body oils, and massage blends are formulated for direct or diluted use on skin.
For the Room
Fragrance oils, diffuser oils, and burner oils are made for scenting a space and are not skincare products.
How to Use
Follow the guidance on the individual product, since these categories differ. As general rules: dilute essential oils in a carrier oil before topical use, keep burner and fragrance oils away from skin, run diffusers in a ventilated room, and store every oil away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep all oils out of reach of children and pets, and do not ingest any oil unless it is specifically labelled and formulated for internal use.
