Monounsaturated Oils

Oils dominant in Monounsaturated Fatty Acids create the foundation for your carrier oil pantry.

They are liquid at room temperature and tend to be neutral in color and scent.

Suggested use: base for essential oil blends, body care formulas and face care. This is the most versatile group of oils, if you’re just starting out or you have limited funds, focus on these oils.

Note: Many (but not all) oils in this group are also good for infusions and macerations.

Storing: Store oils from this category in a cool, dark cupboard.

Unless you live in a hot climate, or you have large amounts of stock to protect, these oils will last 12 months to two years in a cool, dark storage space.
