Description
Andiroba Virgin Carrier Oil brings a rich, earthy presence to body-care formulations. It spreads with a heavier glide than lighter carrier oils and leaves a substantial finish that feels more practical than cosmetic. This makes it useful in balms, massage blends, body oils and ingredient-led skincare where natural character is part of the appeal.
It is not a quiet background oil. Its virgin character gives the formula a stronger identity, which can be valuable in simple or functional products. That same strength means it needs careful use in lighter or fragrance-led blends. Used too heavily, Andiroba Virgin Carrier Oil can feel weighty, earthy or too dominant on the skin.
Shelf life: Users can expect a shelf life of 24 months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended
