Carrier Oil Manufacturer in India
A carrier oil manufacturer sources plant oils such as sweet almond, jojoba, argan and fractionated coconut, checks their quality and fills them into bottles for diluting essential oils or for direct skin and hair use. Formuluxe makes carrier oils from 1,000 units private label and 2,000 units third-party.
Carrier oil types
| Oil | Feel | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sweet almond oil | Light, smooth | Nut allergy label needed |
| Jojoba oil | Light, close to skin sebum | Technically a liquid wax; very stable |
| Argan oil | Rich, silky | Often adulterated; ask for proof |
| Fractionated coconut oil | Very light, stays liquid | Stable, odourless |
| Sesame oil | Traditional in India | Used for Ayurvedic massage |
| Castor oil | Thick | See castor hair oil |
Carriers dilute essential oils for skin use. A ready-made roll-on on the essential oils page combines both.
Cold-pressed and fresh
Use the oil within its shelf life, and keep it away from heat and sun.
Allergy labels
Nut-based oils such as almond must be declared for allergy. A patch test is advised for sensitive skin.
How we plan carrier oils
