Carriers

 

Carrier Oil Base: Jojoba, Avocado & Argan Oils

1. Jojoba Oil 

Profile: Technically a liquid wax rather than a true oil, jojoba most closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum. It has a long shelf life and is extremely stable against rancidity.

Color & Texture: Golden yellow, lightweight, and silky with a smooth glide that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue.


Benefits:

  • Balances oil production — mimics sebum, helping regulate dry or oily skin.

  • Moisturizing & protective — forms a breathable layer that prevents moisture loss.

  • Non-comedogenic — ideal for face and beard without clogging pores.

  • Rich in nutrients — contains vitamins E and B complex, along with zinc and copper.

  • Strengthens hair & beard — reduces breakage and improves shine and softness.

 

2. Avocado Oil 

 

Profile: A thicker, nutrient-dense oil cold-pressed from the flesh of the avocado fruit. It’s highly emollient and deeply penetrates the skin.


Color & Texture:

Deep green to olive in color, with a medium-heavy consistency and a rich feel.

 

Benefits:

  • Deep hydration — rich in oleic acid and plant sterols that soften and nourish.

  • Skin regeneration — contains vitamins A, D, and E to promote collagen synthesis.

  • Anti-inflammatory — soothes irritation, dryness, and environmental damage.

  • Excellent carrier for heavier essential oils like sandalwood, patchouli, or tobacco.

  • Enhances hair elasticity — helps repair dry or brittle beard hairs.

 

3. Argan Oil 

 

Profile: A rare and luxurious oil from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree, often called “liquid gold.” It’s a lightweight but highly nourishing oil for both skin and hair.


Color & Texture:

Golden yellow with a faint nutty aroma, medium-light texture, absorbs quickly.


Benefits:

  • Rich in antioxidants — high in vitamin E and ferulic acid to combat oxidative stress.

  • Improves elasticity — restores smoothness to skin and beard.

  • Strengthens and conditions hair — tames frizz and adds luster.

  • Anti-aging properties — reduces fine lines and improves overall tone.

  • Non-greasy finish — leaves a soft, velvety feel.

 

4. Coffee Bean Oil 

 

Profile: Cold-pressed from roasted coffee beans, this specialty oil infuses your blend with a subtle, natural aroma of roasted coffee and delivers potent antioxidant benefits. It’s rich, energizing, and brings a luxurious depth to the formula.


Color & Texture:

Dark amber-brown; medium viscosity; absorbs moderately with a light sheen.


Key Benefits:

  • Antioxidant powerhouse: naturally high in caffeine and chlorogenic acids that help protect skin from free-radical damage.

  • Stimulates circulation: promotes a healthier, more vibrant complexion and may support beard growth.

  • Anti-inflammatory: calms redness and irritation, making it great post-shave.

  • Adds natural aroma: contributes a warm, roasted note that blends beautifully with scents like vanilla, bourbon, tobacco, or citrus.

  • Improves tone and texture: revitalizes dull skin and enhances smoothness.
