The salinity of the 'oil' is high. It becomes a skin irritant. The carrier oil acts as a buffer allowing magnesium to be absorbed by skin into body with little to no irritation.
Carrier oil preference is really down to purity, cost, ease to get and skin type. Some oils absorb quicker than others depending the person.
