Ayurvedic Oils
Herbal extracts come from plants and are full of natural goodness that helps with health, skincare, and overall wellness. They are made by taking the most beneficial parts of a plant, like leaves, roots, or flowers, and turning them into a concentrated form. These extracts are popular because they are natural, safe, and free of harmful chemicals.
Key Characteristics of Carrier/Fixed Oils:
