Dear Omjit_23

Sandalwood is a grounding oil, thus not a suitable oil for refreshing and keeping the mind alert. For refreshing the mind, try any citrus oil, and rosemary. It keeps you alert. Also if you can find coffee essential oil, use it alone, it would kep you keep awake.

hey drbekhradi

As long as the oil is a thick, non highly volitile oil, that you can mix essential oils into, and hld its properties, you can use any carriers as media. The carrier oil/base oil i am assuming you are using it for bodily application, such as massage, on a human being.
