We Know: How to Buy Massage Oil

About Massage Oil

In addition to a massage, the massage oil can also be relaxing. The oil's scent can have a great affect on the person being massaged, therefore it should be chosen carefully. A massage oil's scent can be playful or bring back memories because it's association with someone or something from the past.


When buying massage oil as a gift, keep in mind that some people are very sensitive to scents or oils. They can even cause a severe allergic reaction in some people. When in doubt, either ask if they have any known allergies or else consider buying a scentless, hypoallergenic massage oil. Bottles of massage oil come in varying sizes, from a few ounces to 16 ounces or more. Massage therapists often purchase the oil in bulk.

When Shopping for Massage Oil

Look for these types of massage oils:

  • Natural ingredients and contaminant free.
  • Hypoallergenic.
  • Alcohol-free: Skin products containing alcohol can dry out your skin.
  • No animal testing.
  • Heat safe: Warmed oil can break down if not made to withstand heat.
  • Water dispersible: This makes it easy to wash the sheets of the oil residue from contact.
  • Contains vitamin E: Hydrates the skin and helps to keep it healthy.
