About This Oil

Sweet almond oil is pressed from the kernels of sweet almonds and is a true nut oil, so it should be avoided by anyone with a nut allergy. It is a light, classic base meant to dilute concentrated oils and carry blends rather than to scent a space on its own. Patch test before broad use, and store it sealed and cool. Contact Plentiful Earth with any questions before ordering.

The Spiritual Significance

Every anointing oil and dressed candle rests on a humble foundation: the carrier. Concentrated ritual and fragrance oils are too strong to wear undiluted, so practitioners blend them into a neutral base that becomes the true vehicle of the working, carrying it to the skin, the candle, or the charm. Sweet almond has been that trusted base for generations of practitioners.

A carrier does not pull the work in any one direction; it grounds and holds whatever intention you add. Sweet almond carries an old, gentle folk association with prosperity and abundance, a quiet bonus to its main role as a faithful base. Add your chosen oils, set your intention, and let this classic carrier do its steady, behind-the-scenes work in nearly every blend you make.

How To Use Sweet Almond Carrier Oil

What is a carrier oil?

A carrier oil is a neutral base oil that you blend concentrated ritual or fragrance oils into so they are gentle enough to wear. It is the vehicle that carries a blend to the skin and does not pull the working in any one direction.

Is it safe for people with nut allergies?

No. Sweet almond oil is a true tree nut oil and should be avoided entirely by anyone with a nut allergy. If you are not allergic, patch test a small area of skin before using it more broadly, as with any new oil.

How do I use it on my skin?

Barring a nut allergy, sweet almond is a light, skin-friendly base. Patch test first, then use it on its own or blend in a few drops of a concentrated oil, following that oil's dilution guidance, to make a skin-safe anointing oil.

How do I store a full gallon?

Decant what you need into a smaller working bottle and keep the rest tightly sealed, cool, and out of sunlight. Like all nut oils, sweet almond will eventually turn, so store it well and use it within a reasonable time.
