The Perfect Blend combines 6 vegetable carrier oils that are cold pressed as well as Certified Organic to maintain the quality of nutrients and vitamins. These carrier oils effectively “carry” the Pure Essential Oils and help their absorption and penetration into the body. Carrier oils are used to dilute Pure Essential Oils for use on the body as in their in their purest state, Essential Oils are often too highly concentrated to use directly on the skin.
The Perfect Blend offers an ideal base with which you can combine your favourite Pure Essential Oils to create your own special massage oil. Pure Essential Oils and aromatherapy can be very effective for many alternative and natural medicine applications, including massage.
Aromatherapy is defined as the use of pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils to benefit the wellness and health of the body, mind and spirit.
It is an all-encompassing natural treatment incorporating the senses of touch and smell. The pleasurable and beneficial scents of the oils work to relieve stress, comfort the mind, balance emotions and help treat numerous physical ailments. It’s little wonder how so many of us choose this powerful method of healing and wellness in this age of increasing stress levels and demands of both ourselves and of our time.
Research on odour reveals we respond emotionally to smell more than to any of our other senses. Massage is one of the oldest and very best ways to benefit from the unique properties of Essential Oils, whether you are using them therapeutically to enhance your wellbeing, or purely for pleasure. Aromatherapeutic massage offers many benefits to our body, skin and tissues.
As Pure Essential Oils should not be applied directly to the skin, they need to be diluted first. To do this, mix up to 5 drops of Pure Essential Oil, or blend of oils with one tablespoon of a vegetable/blender base.
The Perfect Blend contains the following 6 Certified Organic carrier oils:
Jojoba Oil - This luxurious massage base oil is ideal as both a carrier and an effective mosituriser for daily body rubs. A natural non-greasy oil, which mimics our own natural sebum and is therefore readily absorbed by the skin. It is also extremely nourishing for both hair and scalp massages.
Almond Kernel Oil - An ideal, gentle and vitamin packed base oil for general body massage purposes. Light in texture and high in vitamin E, it acts as an excellent source of essential fatty acids for cellular repair and moisture. It helps relieve dryness and inflammation whilst providing an excellent base for added essential oils.
Macadamia Oil - Similar in composition to human sebum, Macadamia Oil is readily absorbed by the skin, but then provides a light film to allow the massage to continue with ease. It also blends very well with other vegetable oils, allowing them to achieve a better spread. It is a nourishing oil, that helps to support the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and to promote a healthy, lustrous glow.
Rose Hip Oil - Nourishing and hydrating to dry skin, with a mild pH, Rose Hip Oil has the positive effects of smoothing out facial lines and wrinkles, hydrating and helping to slow down new signs of ageing. Rose Hip has also been used to help reduce the appearance of minor scars and the marks caused by acne.
Safflower oil - Safflower oil has the highest levels of linoleic acid, making it a valuable oil in on-going skin care regimes, it is also light and easily absorbed into the skin. It is beneficial for all skin types. Other beneficial fatty acids present in Safflower oil are oleic and palmitic acids.
Sesame Oil - The oil is exceptionally stable, with high natural antioxidants and a good balance of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is highly moisturising and softening to the skin and a favourite in Ayurvedic medicine as it is absorbed very fast by the body and therefore acts as an excellent carrier oil.
