Baldwins Base Products

You can buy a range of base products to make your DIY aromatherapy easier. These include:

• Lotion bases
• Cream bases
• Body wash bases
• And more

Once you have chosen your base product or carrier oil, work out how much product you want to make. Then, figure out how much essential oil you’ll need to make a 1-5% dilution. After that, all you need to do is simply mix them together.

Without a vehicle or carrier to rub, blend and absorb into your skin, essential oils can be harmful. They can irritate, cause redness and often dissipate very quickly once applied. A carrier oil, or base product dilutes the potency and helps delay evaporation.
