Amazing, indepth review of multiple oils, butters and infusions!
This book was a random purchase for me. It was one of the best unplanned purchases yet to date.It’s insightful, detailed book, with a lovely layout. I just wish they covered every single oil on the planet!

Wonderful introduction to the Fixed oils (Lipids)
In all honesty, I received a gift copy of The Carrier Oil Palette from Sherilyn, and it simply blew me away. First, it is a beautiful book. But that is not the reason to buy it. Jade and Sherilyn have done a magnificent job describing the specific uses, not only for the more traditional coldpressed oils, but have also included the most common herbal infusions and my beloved CO2s.This is the first book to recommend and include the CO2 extracted lipids, that was why I personally fell in love with the book.We have learned over the years that choosing the correct carrier oil or diluent can make or break an aromatherapy blend designed for topical use. This is a valuable guide that will help you go beyond the ‘basic’ fixed oil that you are probably familiar with.I can not recommend it highly enough.

Terrible quality material but great content
Poor quality cover, poor quality printer, poor quality paper, and too big size, not gonna fit in some shelves and forget to add it in a medium size purse if u want to. This is not a book, this is a school handout or so. But tbe content is AWESOME!

Fraude o error. La portada original de un libro que costó casi 40 euros y que supuestamente tenÃa más de 220 páginas contenÃa dentro no el libro comprado pero una copia de 75 páginas de una especie de cancionero infantil en español. Hace una semana que me quejé a Amazon y todavÃa estoy esperando el reembolso.
