Hands pouring oil onto the skin, symbolising the therapeutic role of carrier oils in aromatherapy treatments.

Carrier Oils: Their Properties & Uses CPD

£120.00 inc.VAT

CPD – 6 points (IFPA) / 5 points (FHT)

Carrier oils form the foundation of every aromatherapy treatment. While essential oils often take centre stage, the choice of carrier oil can significantly influence treatment outcomes, skin health and the overall client experience. Understanding how carrier oils differ in their properties, composition and therapeutic benefits enables therapists to create more personalised and effective treatments.

This specialist CPD course explores the role of carrier oils within professional aromatherapy practice, helping therapists move beyond simply selecting a massage medium to making informed choices based on individual client needs. From skin health and ageing concerns to inflammation, circulation and therapeutic applications, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how carrier oils can enhance your treatments.
