Soya Carrier Oil (Out of Stock)

Often forgotten, but ignore at your peril – Soya is useful for easily irritated skin needing some TLC, light on the skin but packed with Vitamin E

Soya Oil

Extracted from the Soya Bean with partial refinement to remove ‘lumpy chunks’ from the oil to make it a lovely smooth oil.

Suitability

A lovely massage oil which is high in natural source lecitihin, sterolins, and vitamin E, this oil makes a great base for your products. Very easy to work with and stay supple, whilst being very light on the skin. An oil which people often disregard but once they use it, find it is invaluable. Soya Oil is easily absorbed and leaves a smooth sensation to the skin.
