Carrier Oil Duo (Sunflower Oil 2oz & Coconut Oil 2oz)

We combined, into one duo, two of our favorite carrier oils. Fractionated Coconut Oil and Sunflower Oil. Both have powerful benefits for the skin and body to help minimize skin irritation when applied with essential oils.

Sunflower Oil tends to be a warming oil. It is seen as a moisturizer and skin regenerative. Sunflower Oil would be preferred for skin challenges like eczema, dry skin, and psoriasis, due to its vitamin E content. Sunflower oil is also more suited for helping to minimize possible scarring, as well as aiding minor inflammatory and/or digestive challenges.

Sunflower Oil has been used topically since the 1700s. It has many different vitamins and minerals that are helpful for the skin. 

In Aromatherapy, topical application of Sunflower oil is not the viewed the same as internal use. Sunflower oil is heavier than Fractionated Coconut Oil and keeps the essential oils from evaporating as quickly.

Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) is more of a cooling carrier oil. It absorbs with the essential oil quickly into the skin.  FCO has a lighter feel than many carrier oils and leaves less of a greasy sensation on the skin compared to others. 

Each carrier oil comes in a 2 oz glass bottle to help minimizes any chemical leaching common with plastic bottles! Chemicals from plastic bottles that mimic estrogen have been shown to be absorbed into products housed in plastic bottles. We are proud to announce that all Restore Hope Oils products continue to be housed in glass amber bottles for longevity and UV protection.

We recommend using a carrier when applying essential oils to help prevent any possible irritation to the skin. At Restore Hope Oils, we always recommend using a carrier oil when applying essential oils that have not been pre-diluted. Always apply our Fractionated Coconut Oil or Sunflower Oil to protect from possible irritation of warmer oils (i.e., Oregano, Thyme, Clove, Lemongrass and Black Pepper) and to allow for enhanced absorption.

Our Sunflower Oil is only available in this Duo. Our Fractionated Coconut Oil is still available individually.
