Yes. What Kathleen Scott says, is true. I even did my own research to support her findings and found a direct link to the Giles and Kendall website stating that they do in fact use steam distillation here: http://gilesandkendalloil.com/distillation-process.html

you should use an oil that is 'steam distilled' if you are planning on using this on your skin. the description on this oil reads distilled, it does not specify 'steam distilled' which most manufacturers are usually quite happy to 'Shout Out' about, as it costs more to do this method.I know you are seeing that this is a pure oil and you're thinking that it costs so much less than the 'other essential oils' , one of the reasons they cost more is that they are steam distilled, not chemically distilled like I suspect this one probably is. My safety motto is: If the label doesn't say it, always assume it isn't.

Yes, you can use any synthetic oil designed for this purpose. Never use oils from hydrocarbons.

Essential oils are very concentrated and usually advised for use in bath, body oil, body mist, inhalant NOT advised for internal use. Very concentrated and usually diluted in a carrier oil before application to body. Can be used in bath water, body oil, body mists, etc.

Yes, it is the reason I purchased the Jojoba oil, to use as a carrier oil for Young Living Essential Oils on my face. I also use it in my hair - what an amazing difference. I have short, curly, greying hair, which can be wire-ish. This oil makes it so smooth!! Love it.

Most essential oils should never be used on the skin undiluted. To use as a perfume, they should be combined with "carrier oils" (like almond oil), waxes, butters, alcohols, or other diluting media. Because they're so concentrated, if you use them without diluting, they can irritate the skin (with some exceptions, like tea trea and some others). But it's very easy to mix this oil with a medium and use it as perfume - the internet is full of recipes. I put this in homemade lotion, and it smells great.

Yes, I would use a carrier oil. We like to diffuse in a diffuser. I am not sure of the authenticity being that the oil is listed at a questionable price. Please purchase straight from Young Living https://www.youngliving.org/oilsbykelly Join as a wholesaler (no monthly quotas or fees) and get all the oils you want at wholesale price (24% off retail)!

I would say no. These (wonderful) oils are already in a carrier oil, and so are not just pure essential oils.

Yes. I use NOW brand Cheer Up Buttercup essential oil blend (which is mostly made up of citrus oils) in mine. No issues. I'm about to order another one right now. I love this item.

Essential Oils should be mixed in carrier oils, but if you want to mix them with water or a cream, lotion,etc.,you need to make an emulsion. I do it with glycerine (an emulsifier) for creams or lotions or using "Dawn"(liquid dish washer detergent with biosurfactants,another emulsifier). Mix the drops of E.O. with the "Dawn",then add to the water.

I'm sorry. I only use it to disperse in the air, as a fragrance. So I don't know. I only have ever used essential oils for room fragrance purposes.

No it is not compatible with pure essential oil. Any aroma used MUST be water soluble. As pure essential oils are not water soluble, they are not compatible.

Essential oils are to be conbined with a "carrier" oil. like grapeseed oil which has no smell. You add the essential oil(s) to your liking and you use this for massage oil. Essential oils are thin (watery), yes all of them.

Kay, the only oils that should be used are 100% essential oils. No blends that have carrier oils will work very well or at all. Make sure you use distilled water filled to the line that supports the top. Then add about 7 drops of oil.

Actually I've never used a carrier oil with this. It works great for me on a pulled muscle in my hip area.

Better to use a carrier oil. Mineral oil, if it's for your skin you can mix with coconut oil or baby oil. I've also mixed it with petroleum jelly or rubbing alcoholMix with a light oil, for skin I recommend petroleum jelly or baby oil. Coconut oil works great as well. I sometimes add a drop to a water bottle to clear up a cold.

Are there any carrier oils mixed with the argan oil---does this oil contain ONLY argan oil?
