Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hey folks, I've seen claims about both coconut and jojoba oils being the " closest " substance to our subcutaneous fat and sebum, respectively, and wondering what that should mean to me and if one has a clear advantage for massages than the other. What about application on the face? Supposedly coconut oil can't clog pores; what about jojoba? -Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hey Josh, I wouldn't think anyone would want to use straight Jojoba for massage. Diluted down with a thinner carrier oil it would be fine but not straight. I think probably maximum that you'd want to try would be a 20% ratio of jojoba to a thinner carrier.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Ahh, thanks Dorothy. So I should go for the best of both by mixing them? :-) >Hey Josh, > >I wouldn't think anyone would want to use straight Jojoba for massage. >Diluted down with a thinner carrier oil it would be fine but not straight. >I think probably maximum that you'd want to try would be a 20% ratio of >jojoba to a thinner carrier. > >Dorothy > > >> Hey folks, >> >> I've seen claims about both coconut and jojoba oils being the >> " closest " substance to our subcutaneous fat and sebum, respectively, >> and wondering what that should mean to me and if one has a clear >> advantage for massages than the other. >> >> What about application on the face?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hey~ I recieved LaStone massage with jojoba oil mixed with essential oils (I was the subject of a class taught by the niece of the orginator if the LaStone Therapy) One massage with pure jojoba oile is best with stones as oils such as canola will make them gummy after a little while Ifound my skin to be extreemly soft days after my massage..so I say use it willy nilly. Most object to the cost of it and do not use it for that reason. I purchase it in bulk and know that it will last for longer than any other oil one might buy...fringe benefit is that is is nice for perfume as well as the skin in general. NO drying, as with glycerine or alcohols. Yum. Mellie > > >Hey Josh, > > > >I wouldn't think anyone would want to use straight > >Jojoba for massage.
