dōTERRA Sensitive Skin
A carrier oil blend rather than an essential oil — this combines Grapeseed, Hempseed, Rosehip and Meadowfoam oils, chosen for skin that reacts easily, rather than the Fractionated Coconut Oil most people reach for as a general-purpose carrier.
It's odourless and colourless, so it's built to dilute other essential oils without adding a scent or tint of its own, and it's noticeably lighter than some carrier oils, absorbing rather than sitting on the surface.
The 30ml bottle is a small size, reflecting its use a few drops at a time — either mixed with another essential oil before applying, or smoothed on its own over drier patches like elbows and knees.
Why people choose it
- A carrier oil blend of Grapeseed, Hempseed, Rosehip and Meadowfoam oils
- Formulated for skin that reacts easily to other carrier oils
- Odourless and colourless, so it doesn't affect the scent of oils it's mixed with
- A lightweight texture that absorbs rather than sits on the skin
- A 30ml bottle for use a few drops at a time
How to use it
- On skin
- Mix with a favourite essential oil before applying to skin, or use alone on drier areas such as elbows and knees.
- Worth knowing
- A common way to reduce the strength of an essential oil for anyone with reactive skin — mix one part essential oil to five parts or more of this blend, or as directed on the essential oil's own label.

Common questions
Is this an essential oil?
No, it's a carrier oil blend, used to dilute essential oils rather than as a scented oil in its own right.
Does it have a scent of its own?
No, it's formulated to be odourless and colourless so it doesn't change the scent of whatever it's mixed with.
How much should I mix in?
A common starting point is one part essential oil to five parts or more of this blend, or follow the guidance on the essential oil's own label.
Can I use it on its own, without an essential oil?
Yes, it works as a lightweight moisturising oil on its own, particularly on drier areas like elbows and knees.
How is this different from Fractionated Coconut Oil?
Both are carrier oils, but this blend is formulated specifically with skin that reacts easily in mind, using Grapeseed, Hempseed, Rosehip and Meadowfoam oils rather than coconut oil alone.
