Hi, I was wondering whether anyone knows of any carrier oil (base oil) blend recipes that I can use for massage for different skin types without using essential oils. I'm not a qualified aromatherapist so I can not use any essential oils. I have a number of carrier oils that I would like to mix together to give something a little diffent to my clients and avoids using too much of the expensive ones at one time. Please can some one help as the searches I find are all about essential oil blends. Thank you.
carrier oils - sweet almond oil - good for muscular stiffness,pain, tension, good moisturiser for hair and skin
apricot oil - suitable for dry, sensitive and aging skin types.

calendula oil - helpful for dry skin - blend with another carrier oil.
coconut oil - relives inflamed skin, softens and moisterises.
