A clear answer, right when you need it.

Start with where you want to use the oil and how light or rich you want it to feel. Apricot Kernel Oil and Golden Jojoba Oil are versatile first choices. For a more personal starting point, use the guided oil finder.

Carrier oils come from the fatty portions of plants, such as seeds, nuts, and kernels. They can be used on their own or as a base for carefully diluted essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated aromatic extracts and generally require dilution before topical use.

Many single-ingredient oils are versatile enough for more than one routine. The amount and texture matter: begin with one or two drops on face or hair ends and use more for body or massage. Check the individual oil page for its best-fit routines.

Start small. For face or hair ends, begin with one to three drops and add only if needed. For body care or massage, dispense a small amount into your palm, warm it between your hands, and build gradually.

Yes—especially if your skin is reactive or the oil is new to you. Apply a small amount to a limited area and wait before broader use. Stop use if irritation occurs.

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Use clean, dry hands or the supplied dispenser to reduce contamination.

As a general guide, Bella Terra recommends replacing an opened carrier oil within two years when it has been stored properly. Always check the product’s odor, color, and texture and follow any product-specific directions.

The 2 oz and 4 oz sizes use amber glass. The 8 oz, 16 oz, 32 oz, and 128 oz gallon sizes use BPA-free plastic. Larger BPA-free formats are lighter, more shatter-resistant, and easier to handle and store than heavy glass.

BPA-free means the packaging is made without bisphenol A. We use BPA-free packaging for our larger oil sizes because it combines practical handling with a lighter, shatter-resistant container.

The 2 oz and 4 oz bottles include both a pump and a dropper. The 8 oz and 16 oz bottles include a pump and a snap cap. The 32 oz bottle does not include a pump. Gallon pumps are offered as an option where shown.

Different routines call for different control. A dropper makes it easy to count a few drops, while a pump can feel cleaner and faster for everyday use. You can choose the dispenser that works best for you.
