What is the best carrier oil for essential oils like frankincense essential oil so that I can make it thicker and able to wear it like a quite viscous oud, so a really good carrier and how to do it would be great help, thank you anyone willing to give some input, since I want to wear a frankincense E.O but they are way too thin to put on skin, and I want a thick carrier oil so I dont need to use tons of it, because I want to turn the frankincense oil into a viscous oil quite similar to a moderate viscosity of an oud oil.
Thanks!!!
One thing you could consider is getting a different type of frankincense. Frankincense resinoid and absolute can be a semi solid depending on extraction. I have some frankincense oil that is like honey, very slow to pour and sticky. I also greatly prefer the frankincense resinoid and absolute to the distillate and co2 extracts. To my nose there's no comparison at all, only the extracted oils have the rich dry powdery desert vibe that I crave.
Some other potential carriers:
Copaiba balsam would be good - light green stem scent it is mostly Beta caryophyllene (which is an anti-inflammatory cannabinoid in fact!). Copaiba balsam is a clear natural exudate that is nice and thick and mild in scent. Copaiba essential oil is distilled from this but that is something different.
Sandalwood of course is a popular carrier in attars, and has a nice viscosity to it.
Amyris is a little strong smelling but it's inexpensive and relatively mild and Woody. I'm still trying to figure out what to use this for. It has a viscosity something like a Sandalwood if that's what you're looking for.
