FAQs

How is this different from using a plain carrier oil for massage?
+

A plain carrier oil provides the mechanical slip for massage and the conditioning benefit of its fatty acid profile, but nothing beyond these physical properties. A purposefully blended massage oil like this one adds the aromatherapeutic dimension of the essential oil blend — the psychological and physiological effects of inhaling the aromatic compounds during the massage session, the enhanced sensory pleasure that a well-chosen fragrance provides, and any specific therapeutic properties that the individual essential oils contribute. For a relaxing, nourishing evening massage, the difference between a well-formulated aromatic blend and a plain carrier oil is immediately and consistently noticeable in the quality of the experience.

How much of this oil should I use for a full-body self-massage?
+

For a full-body self-massage, ten to twenty millilitres is typically sufficient depending on the length of the session and the generosity of application. Apply a small amount to each body area at a time and warm between the palms before applying — this produces better absorption and a more comfortable application temperature than applying the oil cold and in quantity. The 100ml size provides approximately five to ten full-body self-massage sessions at this application rate.

Can this oil be used as a daily body moisturiser rather than specifically for massage?
+

Yes — applied to slightly damp skin after bathing in smooth upward strokes, this nourishing massage oil functions as an effective and pleasurably aromatic daily body oil moisturiser. The carrier oil's conditioning properties are delivered efficiently in either application format; the massage context simply enhances absorption through the warmth and pressure of massage strokes. For daily body moisturisation without massage, apply sparingly to damp post-shower skin and allow to absorb before dressing.

Is this oil appropriate for use during pregnancy?
+

Seek medical advice from your midwife or GP before using any essential oil blend during pregnancy. The suitability depends on the specific essential oils in the blend — please confirm the oil composition from current packaging and consult your midwife with the specific oil list before use during pregnancy. Some essential oils in nourishing blends are considered safe during the second and third trimesters under professional guidance; others require avoidance throughout. Individual guidance from a healthcare professional is the appropriate approach.
