Pistachio oil will soften and nourish the skin and is a great moisturizer for lip balms, creams, lotions, lotion bars, massage lotions and oils. This is a good choice for a perfume base as it is less greasy than many carrier oils. Pistachio Oil has very good moisturizing qualities for a "light oil". It blends easily with other carrier oils. Used alone, it is a favorite for massages.
