Almond oil is used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy. Essential oils need to be mixed into a carrier (base) oil since most of them are too potent and concentrated to be used undiluted on the skin.

There are 2 forms of almond oil: bitter (known as just "almond oil") and sweet. Sweet almond oil is preferred by most aromatherapists and can be used in aromatherapy recipes for children.
