  Carrier oil

  Posted by ttk102360 on December 13, 2019 at 6:02 pm

  I am making gelée oil products. I need a base oil (that is not wildly known or already common in the industry). Could you suggest to me some of these ingredients? Thank you.

  If you only use a small amount to gelling agent, maybe Chia Seed Oil?

  You can use this as a source of inspiration

  But whatever you choose make sure it’s not prone to oxidation. Most of these exotic oils have high iodine value.

  These are a few types of vegetable oils that I don’t see very often in products:

  • Cacay Seed Oil (INCI: Caryodendron Orinocense Seed Oil)
  • Prickly Pear Seed Oil (INCI: Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil) => this oil is very expensive
  • Kukui Nut Oil (also Candlenut Oil, INCI: Aleurites Moluccanus Seed Oil)
  • Strawberry Seed Oil (INCI: Fragaria Ananassa (Strawberry) Seed Oil)
  • Oat Oil (INCI: Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil)

  Kukui Oil is a very nice carrier and not too expensive. Ive used it in massage oils, it has a very thin non greasy feel

  Moringa oil is very much on trend and has outstanding oxidative stability.

  Mamey oil is similar to Argan oil but higher in unsaponifiables.
