RE: What do you use? oils

katherineiv, I used to use pre-blended massage oils - Tisserand being one. But now I just use base oils,and prefer a mixture of jojoba and grapeseed. I like jojoba, but on its own it has too much body, I find grapeseed doesn't have quite enough body on its own - a mixture is great. Also no issues with potential nut allergy with either I believe.

See also thread Which Massage Oil? - 4 October 2006, and the link I posted :-

I think this article very much highlights commercial massage lotions and creams - but it put me off enough to just go with organic base oils.

Hope that helps, and not ignoring the list - just running out of time to read and respond 🙁
