# Mixing Oils for Skin and Hair

Yes, you can mix different oils together for skin and hair use without needing an emulsifier.

Oils are miscible with each other, meaning they mix well. Emulsifiers are used to combine oil and water, which do not naturally mix. Since you are only mixing oils, an emulsifier is not required.

You can mix them in any proportion you like, depending on the desired texture and benefits you want from each oil.

The mixture can be stored. However, like individual oils, the mixture can go rancid over time. To prolong the shelf life, store the mixture in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. Adding an antioxidant like Vitamin E (Tocopherol) can also help prevent rancidity.

The oils you mentioned (Moringa Oil, Avocado Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, Horse Oil, and Jojoba Oil) are all types of oils that can be mixed together.
