Lifelace Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hi guys! I was wondering if anybody has a good massage oil recipe? I'm mostly looking for a good unscented base oil blend that uses several types of oils. I tried to Google but just haven't found anything I liked. I have several oils on hand: Sweet Almond, Golden Jojoba, Apricot Kernel, Kuikui, Grapeseed, Olive, Rice Bran, Sunflower, Canola, Fractionated Coconut, Castor Oil. I really don't know anything about massage oils, a friend asked me to whip up a bottle! I also have Rosemary Extract and Vit. E, I need those to help prevent rancidity right? Any help would be great. Thanks! Melany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 My favorite is just straight FCO, it doesn't stain or have any scent, it's nice and clear and works wonderfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Is FCO edible? Or I should say safe to consume (everything's edible but not necessarily safe )? I know I can use coconut oil that you cook with but that's usually solid at room temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yes it is-safe to eat I mean! I make it for this purpose all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Depends on how you'd like the massage oil to feel. How much slip and glide you'd like, whether you'd like it to stay on the skin longer or absorb rapidly, etc. It's a personal choice, really. I'd suggest something that doesn't absorb too rapidly, so you'd have some decent time for a good rub (play?) yet not so heavy you don't get some good glide. FCO's great, doesn't stain sheets, it's got good glide, and it's pretty light. Maybe mix it with some avocado for a nutrient boost or some rice bran oil (AWESOME skin softener and unbelievably rich in vit E). Additional vit E and ROE's good for delaying rancidity, yep. My massage blend is macadamia, avocado and rice bran - mac and rbo have pretty decent shelf lives as is, so I don't add extra vit E. If you're using straight FCO, it's pretty stable on its own as is.Play around, see what you like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Is FCO edible? Or I should say safe to consume (everything's edible but not necessarily safe )? Yes but FOs are not, and I'd be super cautious about EOs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yes but FOs are not, and I'd be super cautious about EOs too.Yes, I hope that no one making an EDIBLE body oil would use anything other than flavor oils in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
