Carrier Oil
The carrier oil is the base oil which makes up the largest percentage of a beard oil. Unlike essential oil which are highly potent and have powerful aromas, a carrier oil has little smell and evaporation isn't a needed problem to avoid.
Carrier oils range in their viscosity, so some will be thicker than others; something that men choose considerately when coming up with an ingredient list for their beard oils. The difference in the oils' thickness can determine how they are used in a product marketed toward facial hair.
Carrier oils are made up of fatty acids.
