Best Carrier Oils of 2026

"I've been using this product for several years and it's been wonderful! It's particularly beneficial for my sensitive skin, especially during the fall and winter when my skin tends to dry out. It's also great for blending with essential oils. I use it to make beard oil for my husband, as well as shampoo and body wash."

"I use this product on my face, often mixed with essential oils. It's the only moisturizer that doesn't cause breakouts or make my skin oily, given my sensitive skin. It's quickly absorbed and doesn't feel heavy at all."

"I'm a big fan of this oil. I primarily use it to moisturize my face as I have combination, and occasionally sensitive, skin. Jojoba oil is known to closely resemble the natural oils our bodies produce. I also use it as a carrier for my essential oils in roller bottles. It's not overly greasy or runny and absorbs well into the skin. I highly recommend it and will definitely be purchasing more."

"I'm a big fan of this brand of sweet almond oil. It leaves my type 4 hair incredibly soft and shiny, without irritating my sensitive scalp or worsening my dermatitis. After running out of my usual brand, I decided to try this one. I was initially doubtful because the size of the bottle and its affordable price seemed too good to be true. However, I'm glad I took the chance as this brand is more softening than other sweet almond oils I've used. I'll definitely buy it again, although it might take some time to finish this large bottle."

"I received this bottle of pure, unscented almond oil and put it in a spray bottle. My husband had a full body massage with it and the results were fantastic. It doesn't leave an oily residue, nor does it make you feel slippery, sticky, or gooey. It absorbs into your skin quickly, so you can apply it after a shower and get dressed immediately without worrying about oil stains. It's a great product. Even my husband, who usually dislikes lotions, enjoys using this on his hands, knees, and feet."

"I use this oil to massage my one-year-old. This sweet almond oil comes in a 32oz bottle, so it lasts quite a while. I prefer almond oil because it absorbs quickly, offers natural sun protection, is fragrance-free, and helps relax my baby after a massage. My baby's skin has shown no adverse reactions to the oil. I also use it in the winter to soothe skin rashes."

"I'm absolutely amazed by this product. I've tried numerous body oils to moisturize my body, hands, nails, and hair, particularly during the dry winter months. What I love about Maple Holistics Avocado Oil is its perfect consistency. It absorbs well into the skin and cuticles, and it's neither too light nor too heavy - it's just right. I haven't used it on my hair yet, but I'm confident that the ingredients in this wonderful oil will not disappoint. I will continue to use and recommend this fantastic oil. You have to try it for yourself - you won't be disappointed."

"I'm a fan of this oil. It doesn't feel as greasy as others. I mix it with lotion and apply it to my skin, which makes the lotion easier to spread. I use it every night on my belly and hips to keep them moisturized during my pregnancy. It's definitely made my skin softer. The smell is okay - somewhat nutty. I'm not a huge fan of the scent, but it's not overpowering, so it's bearable. Overall, I'm pleased with this product."

"The scent of this oil is subtle, with a hint of avocado, which I quite like. The consistency is perfect for massaging, and it keeps your skin moisturized for a good amount of time. I plan to use this oil more frequently during the cold winter months. I'll continue to evaluate it, but so far, the initial applications have been satisfying."

"I've really enjoyed using this castor oil! It's thick, smooth, and feels truly premium. The large 16-ounce bottle is a fantastic value, and I love that it's 100% pure and natural. I find it deeply nourishing for my hair and skin, and the quality never disappoints."

"As someone who uses castor oil for scalp and hair health, I noticed my hair becoming thicker and less prone to fallout. I use it as a nightly scalp massage and even as a facial moisturizer, and it leaves my skin softer and diminishes fine lines. The oil is very thick and has a strong scent at first, but it fades quickly. Overall, it's effective and gives real results—I’ll keep buying it."

"I really appreciate that this castor oil comes with useful applicators and brushes—they make it so convenient to use. The oil is thick, high quality, and doesn’t have a strong smell. I use it on my hair, brows, and lashes, and it always feels nourishing and natural. I’m very happy with the product’s quality and value."

"After consistently applying this castor oil to my scalp and lashes, I've noticed significant improvements in hair density and eyelash thickness. The fact that it's USDA organic and cold-pressed gives me peace of mind about its purity. I also appreciate the versatility—it works well for my skin, brows, and as a makeup remover. The dropper bottle makes application precise and hygienic, and the oil itself is gentle with a subtle, natural scent."

"I started using this castor oil a few months ago, focusing on my thin, brittle, curly hair, and I'm genuinely impressed. My hair feels softer, more manageable, and less prone to breakage. I've kept a log and the results are clear—splitting and shedding have decreased. The thickness means a little goes a long way, making the bottle last. After researching, I'm convinced that organic castor oil delivers better results, and this product has proven it for me."

"I use this castor oil mainly for my over-processed eyelashes, and it's made a real difference in repairing and thickening them. While I haven't seen much length change (my lashes were already long), the improvement in thickness and health is obvious. The oil feels pure and high quality, and a small amount is all I need each night."

"I've set this up for auto-ship because it's extremely moisturizing and absorbs quickly. Even my husband noticed the improvement in my skin and started using it himself!"

"As someone with rosacea and very sensitive skin, I rely on this as my first step in double cleansing. It removes SPF and makeup thoroughly, never breaks me out, and has completely transformed my skin for the better. I've repurchased it 7 times!"

"I use this oil on my hair, and despite my sensitivity to oils, it never weighs my hair down. It’s light, revives my hair, and keeps frizz away. I appreciate the high quality and how well it lives up to expectations."

"I've been using this oil for a few weeks and have noticed some new growth in my eyebrows, which is impressive considering my scar. The amount provided is generous and the included spoolies and container are handy. The oil is a bit thicker than I anticipated, but overall the quality and price are excellent and I'd buy it again."

"I used this oil overnight in my hair and washed it out easily the next morning. The difference in my hair was immediate—thicker, shinier, and healthier than it's been in ages! I'm also applying it to my face and brows, and along with biotin, I've seen remarkable results in just a month. This product is a fantastic value for the results you get."

"This castor oil is perfect for making homemade lash serums. It's incredibly cost-effective, lasts forever, and can be used for a variety of beauty needs. I've seen noticeable improvements in lash and brow thickness over time. Plus, being able to customize my own blend is a huge bonus."

"The pump action is fantastic—way less messy than traditional bottles. I’ve noticed softer skin and no more redness or dryness since I started using it. Even my eczema has cleared up!”

"I mainly use this oil for my skin, nails, and feet. After showering, it leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and deeply moisturized. It’s a bit too rich for my hair, though."

"I tried applying it to my hair after washing, but it made my scalp a little itchy, so now I just use it on my skin instead."

"I've been using this organic, cold-pressed oil primarily for my skin and hair, and it's become a staple in my routine. It absorbs quickly, never feels greasy, and my skin looks more hydrated and even-toned. The 4oz bottle lasts a long time since I only need a few drops each use. I also noticed it helps protect my skin from sunburn. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a natural moisturizer."

"As someone who has struggled with painful eczema on my hands, I've tried countless treatments without much relief. After starting this oil, I saw a dramatic improvement in my symptoms and reduction in pain within two weeks. I apply it generously at night and wear cotton gloves to help it absorb. The characteristic odor lasts a while, but it's not a deal breaker, especially given the results I've experienced."

"I use this oil every other day to moisturize my scalp and distribute serums more evenly. The scent is very light, which is great since I'm sensitive to smells. The pump top is convenient, though I trimmed the tube to fit the bottle better. It's a good-sized bottle and works wonderfully as an all-over moisturizer."

"I’m really pleased with this sweet almond oil. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel greasy, and leaves my skin and hair soft and hydrated. You can tell it’s a quality, pure product. I love using it as a carrier oil for my essential oils and massages. The bottle is handy, and I’ll definitely keep buying it!"
