Kiwi seed oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich carrier oil high in Vitamins C and E and omega-3 fatty acids, ideal for nourishing, anti-aging, and sensitive skin formulations. It acts as an excellent, fast-absorbing base for essential oils in skincare, serums, and massage blends, typically used at a 2% dilution (12 drops essential oil per 30ml/1oz carrier).
