I know some oils are used for anti-bacterial, some are anti-aging, some are anti-inflamatory, some are good for the eye are. Would like to learn more about oils in skin care. What's a good website for actives and oils?

Thanks

Hello, FizzyBubbles.
Here is an EDS thread called "Essential Oil guide for Skin and Hair".

My 'go to' resource for many years has been Marge at naturesgift.com

Click on 'carrier oils and additives' from the menu on the left.

I was on the site the other day and noted she has written a book - Essential oils and Aromatics. Likely a very good book based on the information she provides via her website!

Hi! Carekate, who used to be a regular poster here I believe, has a notepad over on MUA that lists her guide to oils along with various DIY recipes: http://makeupalley.com/user/notepad/carekate

Not sure whether you need to be registered with them to view this or not, but it's very thorough. I also second nakeidknits suggestions, which I use as well.
