Sweet almond is the default carrier oil and the one every aromatherapy course starts with. Light enough to absorb, rich enough to feel like something, and it gets on with every essential oil in the range.

Dolphin Clinic's is cold pressed from the kernel of Prunus amygdalus dulcis and refined, which keeps it stable and almost odourless so it does not compete with whatever you blend into it.

The standard dilution is five drops of essential oil per 10ml. On its own it works as a plain body oil for dry skin.

One hundred millilitres, and also in 500ml if you blend regularly.

Bottled in New Zealand by a company that has been supplying carrier oils to aromatherapists here for over thirty years.
