[Essential oils][1] are concentrated plant extracts with strong aromas and therapeutic properties, used in aromatherapy and skincare. They must be diluted before use. Carrier oils are mild, plant-based oils like coconut or jojoba, used to dilute essential oils and moisturize skin. They’re safe for direct application and enhance absorption.
