What is a carrier oil and how is it used together with essential oils?

Because essential oils are incredibly concentrated, they should almost always be diluted in a carrier oil, specifically when used topically.

Carrier oils dilute the essential oils and help “carry” them into the skin.

Here are some of the  added benefits you will get from using Mekis Grape seed oil as a carrier oil

It is also known for its anti-aging and moisturizing properties that can help keep the scalp hydrated and strong, in turn making it a good foundation for healthy hair to grow from.

• ·         It adds shine

As we age, our scalp naturally decreases its production of sebum, an oily substance that helps with hair shine and health.

Adding your own oil can counter that, especially grapeseed oil, which contains natural conditioning agents that work from the inside out to add luster.

Plus, for a temporary shine boost, oils coat each strand, letting the light bounce off your hair.
