* olive oil
* grape seed oil
* jojoba oil
(Just to name a few again there are many carrier oils out there. Its best you do a little research to see what will work for you)

I always have essential oils in the house to make anything from floor washes to lotions and balms. I was really impressed by the quality of these oils as there are oils out there that are the same price as this set for one 10ml bottle.

I would highly recommend this set of oils to everyone especially if you're into holistic therapies or want to use them in a vaporiser/ oil burner, you won't be disappointed.

I was lucky enough to receive this set discounted in exchange for an honest review, and in no way, shape or form has this influenced my personal opinion or this review.
