Carrier oil , also known as base oil or vegetable oil , is used to dilute essential and absolute oils before applying to the skin in massage and aromatherapy. They are so named because they bring essential oils to the skin. Diluting essential oils is an important safety practice when using essential oils. Only volatile oils as they begin to disappear as soon as they are applied. The extent of the spread will vary based on how light or heavy the carrier oil is. Carrier oil contains no concentrated aroma, unlike essential oils, although some, such as olives, have a distinctive mild odor. They also do not evaporate like essential oils, which are more volatile. The carrier oil used should be as natural and as easy as possible. Many people feel organic oil has a higher quality. Cold pressing and maceration are two main methods of producing carrier oil.
There are a variety of different carrier oils, each with a variety of therapeutic properties. Choosing oil will depend on the massage area, presentation conditions and the sensitivity and requirements of the client. For massage, viscosity is a major consideration; for example, grape seed oil is usually very thin, while olive oil is thicker. Sunflowers, sweet almonds, and grapeseed oils have a viscosity between these two extremes. Carrier oils can be easily mixed to combine viscosity, reception, lubrication, absorption, aroma and so on.
Infused oil is a combination of carrier oil and plant material and they can be prepared commercially or domestically. The base oil, often sunflower, is placed in an airtight container with the right plant material for a while. Calendula and carrot oils are produced in this way.
High-quality oils sold for culinary use are often very suitable for massage, and economical use; which is obtained by cold pressing is preferred. All carrier oils must remain cool, and away from strong light, to inhibit rancidification. Rancid oil should be avoided. Refrigeration oils help keep their freshness but some oils should not be cooled (eg avocados). Extremely cold oil may appear cloudy, but return to a clear condition when returning to room temperature.
The sources strongly disagree on the suitability of mineral oil as carrier oil. In the United States, mineral food grade oil is very refined and refined to meet the stringent requirements of the FDA. Mineral Oil marked as "USP" also meets the US Pharmacopoeia standards.

Security aspect
Beans are nuts, not "true" beans, but they share with true peanuts the risk of causing allergic reactions, even in small amounts. Pure peanuts and peanut oil usually do not cause allergies, (because they usually do not contain any part of the protein from the plant), but avoid they may be safer, because of serious nut and peanut allergies are widespread, oil purity can not be guaranteed, and oil other hypoallergenic easily replaced.
If there is a risk of ingestion, mineral oil should be avoided
