Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi, I've been asked to work up a massage oil, and I have a general idea what can go in them. My question is: Which oil or oils are best to use, least likely to trigger skin sensitivity, and would it be better to include wheat germ oil as a Vitamin E source or to use T-50? Any help's much appreciated, Serra -- Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hello & greetings, A combination of fractionated coconut oil, botanical name:Cocos Nucifera [Refined coconut oil & (unrefined) 50% lauric acid] and sweet almond oil, botanical name:Prunus Amygdalus var. dulcis is the best to use for massage oils; as it washes easily out of sheets and clothing. The way fractionated coconut oil is processed makes it a very stable oil in itself; adding sweet almond oil (Contains: glucosides, minerals, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E) only increases that. The only real drawback is those persons working in aromatherapy, who want only natural oil in their products, as fractionated coconut oil it is not considered a complete oil due to its heat processed method. It is also usually deodorized since it's natural odor is overwhelming. Hope this helps you make your decision. ^BB^ Debra E. S.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 P.S. Wheat germ oil is possible the most allergy triggering oil there is, for some causing anaphylactic shock. ^BB^ Debra E. S.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi Fae (or Debra, whichever you prefer), Thanks so much for the info. It does bring up one more question: What's the shelf life on fractionated coconut oil? Thanks in advance, Serra " Debra E. S.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hi Deb, A great source of info for fractionated coconut can be found @ http://www.essentialoiluniversity.com/frac__coconut.htm Also check out pricing through Judy @ www.todieforsoap.com. Her price/gallon is a bit less. I also like fractionated coconut oil in a spray. It's a lightweight oil & flows nicely in a pump.
