1. Tea Tree oil - Extracted from the leaves of tea trees, this oil is used in the treatment of acne because of its anti-bacterial properties. Tea tree oil also helps reduce inflammation caused by acne, and diminish dandruff as well.
3. Olive oil - Beneficial in toning and firming the skin. It improves the strength and elasticity of hair and also great for dry skin. Extra Virgin Olive oil is also an extremely good makeup remover...specially for that stubborn waterproof mascara!
4. Argan oil - The beauty world is now buzzing about the benefits of argan oil but this has been used in Morocco for centuries. Besides removing frizz and adding shine to hair, argan oil is also a wonderful moisturizer for the skin. It helps skin fight aging, UV exposure and cell degeneration. (Moroccan oil is not the name of an oil but of a product sold by the company Moroccanoil (R) and is made with Argan oil)
5. Jojoba oil - Penetrates the roots of the hair to clear out buildup from products or dead skin cells, while softening the scalp. Jojoba oil is also used in a number of beauty products because of its minuscule rate of causing allergic reactions.
6. Rosemary oil - Can be typically found in hair care products.Helps stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair growth and strength. Like tea tree oil, which it is sometimes mixed with, helps to remove dandruff and cure dry scalp.
7. Peppermint oil - Used in balms, glosses and lipsticks because of its ability to nourish lips while curing cracked skin. It also has a natural cooling effect which helps in curing sunburn and easing inflammation.
For skincare, I usually gravitate towards products with tea tree oil. Coconut and Olive oil has been keeping my tresses happy till date but I'm looking to try something from Moroccan oil. The only problem is that it's so darn expensive!

Hi Dolon!
I am always curious about one thing.. Can you mix 2 essential oils in one bottle of say Coconut oil or Olive oil? or Its not advisable..
Have you used the cold pressed oils from TBS..I guess they've recently launched them.

Hey Nidhi...I know that you can blend essential oils with a carrier oil like almond oil, olive oil etc..Ya I have tried the TBS Moringa oil and love it..Have reviewed on my blog as well
Nice informative post Dolon...
I also use olive oil mixed with castor oil for my hair :)
hey Dolon
how r u
useful n informative post
Hey Nidhi, I dont know about mixing in a bottle but what I do is apply almond oil on my scalp , like almost dunk in it and then apply coconut oil on the ends, cos I feel am wasting the precious almond oil on the ends. And half of the almond oils today are useless, I found Forest 'damn-expenisve' Essentials and Hamdard Roghan Badam to be the best.
Hi Naina! I use Hamdard's Roghan Badam Shirin..Isnt that good enough?
or even the Divya Pharmacy one..?
