      Evening primrose
      Canola (Rapeseed)
      Sunflower oil
      Jojoba oil
      Emu oil
      Castor oil
      Borage seed oil
     
• Nuts:
          Walnut oil
          Peanut oil
          Pecan oil

•   Sweet almond oil and grapeseed oil are very popular carrier oils.

• Safety aspects
•  Peanuts are legumes, not "true" nuts, but they share with true nuts the risk of causing allergic reactions, even in minute amounts.           Pure peanut and nut-derived oils are not usually  allergenic, (as they do not typically contain the protein aceous part of he plant.) Avoiding them may be safer, as serious   peanut allergy is widespread, oil purity cannot be guaranteed, and other hypoallergenic oils are easily substituted.    
• If there is any risk of ingestion, mineral oil best avoided
