Carrier oils are vegetable-derived fixed oils, such as jojoba, sweet almond, and coconut oil, used primarily to dilute concentrated essential oils for safe topical application in aromatherapy, skincare, and massage. They act as a "vehicle" to carry active compounds into the skin without evaporating quickly, unlike volatile essential oils, and provide their own nourishing fatty acids and vitamins.
