Carrier Oils:
( also called vegetable oil in many books)
Are extracted from plants and have been used since ancient times, in many cultures.
Carrier oils, also referred to as vegetable oil, are used to dilute essential oils.
Carrier oils do not contain a concentrated aroma, or should I say most don't,
some can be sort of stinky. Nor do they evaporate like essential oils, but can get rancid after 6 months, sometimes faster if not kept in dark bottles and dark cabinets.
The carrier oils used should be as natural and unadulterated as possible.
Organic oils should be used where possible.
When buying carrier oils, be sure to read bottles carefully, there are quite a few oils that can be used only be used at a 10% rate.

Cannabis Infused topical blends:
Marijuana tropicals can come as a salve, a cream or even an oil. They are meant to be applied to the skin and provide localized relief for pain. Pain may be from nerves, arthritis, inflammation, and general soreness, among other conditions. The benefit of a topical, to many patients, is that a topical can provide pain relief without creating a sense of being high or stoned. Cannabis infused balms work by being absorbed through the skin and binding to our CB2 receptors, which are found throughout the body. THC and CBD along with other cannabinoids will have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect on the body once they come into contact with these receptors. In general,
tropical will not get into the blood stream, which is one of the reasons you do not get high. Transdermal patches are another way of medicinal administration and transdermal actually do get into the blood stream, so they are somewhat different to topical. Also helps with:
Skin allergies may be the reason to use marijuana -- a topical form, at least.
not to forget that it helps with; Chronic pain, nausea, mental disorders, anxiety and depression and also has anti-inflammatory effect, multiple sclerosis, post- traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, headaches and muscle spasms, warts, skin conditions, arthritic and rheumatism pains.

Like many natural oils, rose hip oil boasts a range of beauty benefits for the skin, hair and nails. But rose hip oil, unlike natural shea oil or cocoa butter, tends to absorb quickly and cleanly for a mess-free finish. If you add rose hip oil to your skin care routine, you can expect to see some of the following awesome benefits: Skin rejuvenation. Rosehip oil's vitamin A is known to promote healthy skin cell rejuvenation, which causes skin to glow and appear fresh and supple. The rejuvenation works on normal skin and also skin damaged by scarring or the sun. Pigment reduction. The vitamin C in rose hip oil reduces the appearance of dark spots, aging spots and hyper-pigmentation. Apply the oil to the affected area to see a reduction in unsightly dark spots over time. Improved complexion. If you suffer from dryness or eczema, nourishing rose hip oil will calm and moisturize your skin with regular application. Just do an "allergy test" on a hidden area of your body before applying to irritated patches of skin to make sure you don't have a reaction to the oil. Mess-free moisture retention. Rosehip oil packs a powerful punch of moisture for dry or mature skin, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. And unlike other oils, the smooth and light texture of rosehip oil is unlikely to clog your pores.
Bonus:
Healthy nails. Nail health isn't exactly a part of your skin care routine,
but regularly dabbing a bit of rosehip oil on your nails and cuticles will
prevent hangnails and nail breakage.
