...who said carrier oil couldn't be fun?
I've really been meaning to do this for a long time, make CW Naked Salve! Free from the chains that bind, free to be whatever I need it to be, free to stand on its own merit and bust out of the stereotypical carrier oil standard... First of all, a quick rundown on carrier oil and why EO users love it and need it. A carrier oil is the vegetable oil from the fatty part of a plant, namely the nut seed or kernel and each carrier oil has its own therapeutic benefits. CW Naked Salve has more than a few! Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and faithful EO users have their favorites. My preference is coconut oil, an organic, hand processed coconut oil with lots of benefits and nutrients all it's own. Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer as well as antibacterial. Added olive oil has of anti-oxidants, including hydroxytyrosol and, anti-inflammatory properties, beeswax seals in moisture as well as the essential oils used topically. The benefits of coconut and olive oils, beeswax, and vitamin e support the healing properties of pure essentials while protecting the skin from sensitivities, a most winning combination. Many of you have made the original Camp Wander All Purpose Healing Salve, it's a workhorse of a salve, isn't it? Well, CW Naked Salve is simply All Purpose Healing Salve without the EOs making it very versatile and emollient carrier oil.
