The aim of this E-class is to develop your knowledge and understanding of 19 carrier oils, covered in our VTCT Level 3 DIploma course. Each carrier oil will have a downloadable Profile PDF for you to save, print and keep.
Discover the skin-loving power of 19 natural carrier oils and learn how to choose, blend, and use them like a professional aromatherapist.
Carrier oils are the unsung heroes of aromatherapy — the nourishing base oils that not only dilute and deliver essential oils safely but also bring their own unique therapeutic and skincare benefits.
In this masterclass, we’ll explore 19 of the most versatile and beneficial carrier oils used in aromatherapy and skincare. You’ll learn how to select the right oil for each treatment, skin type, or condition, and how to combine them to create perfectly balanced blends.
Whether you’re a qualified therapist, student, or simply passionate about natural skincare, this class will give you a deeper understanding of how to make every drop of oil work in harmony with the skin.
At the end of this course, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion awarded by Holistic Therapies Training Academy, accredited with IPHM – The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine.
