Texture

Glide that does not stain

A massage oil needs enough slip for a long massage, but should not soak into sheets or feel sticky. Light oils glide and absorb. Heavy oils last longer but stain. We trial blends and test that the oil does not go rancid in a warm room.

✓Carrier mix sets glide and absorption.
✓Essential oils at a low level for scent.
✓Antioxidant to protect the oils.
✓Nut oils need an allergy warning.
Claims

Relaxing, not therapeutic

Massage oils can say relaxing, soothing scent and nourishing. Claims for pain relief, arthritis or muscle repair are therapeutic and need a different route.

How we develop it

How we plan a massage oil

We choose the glide first, then the scent.
