Carrier Oils

HBNO® Carrier Oils are natural, cold-pressed plant oils widely used across cosmetic, personal care, and manufacturing industries. Known for their smooth textures and mild aromatic profiles, these oils are ideal for dilution, formulation, and large-scale production in skincare, haircare, and spa product lines.

Learn About Carrier Oils 

Carrier oils, also referred to as base oils, are extracted from nuts, seeds, or kernels of plants. They serve as neutral mediums that “carry” other ingredients such as essential oils or actives in formulations. With their balanced compositions and stable shelf life, carrier oils are foundational components in product development across multiple sectors.
