What kind of oil is best for a massage therapist?

After 6 years of using almond oil, my friend had an allergic reaction. Any suggestions? Gloves don't make the clients happy.What kind of oil is best for a massage therapist?
How about Grapeseed Oil?


Pure Grapeseed Oil is a lovely green, non-greasy oil suitable for all skin types, but is especially popular for use on oily skin, as Grapeseed Carrier Oil has astringent properties and absorbs well.


In cosmetic products, it is favored for its regenerative and restructuring qualities while it tonifys and moisturizes the skin.


Grape Seed Massage Oil is an excellent substitute for use when you or your clients have sensitivities or allergies to nuts, as this is not a nut-based oil.


It is unscented, so it can be used on its own, or as a Carrier Oil for other applications such as Aromatherapy.


It is also great for cooking with.

Mineral oil is a petroleum byproduct. You do NOT want to put that on anyone's skin. Ewww.





I prefer to use nut-free oils for this very reason. You never know when you'll get a client with a nut allergy who fails to mention it. Of course, any therapist using a nut oil should always specifically ask about nut allergies, but still, you never know when one will slip through the cracks. Then you don't want to be scrambling around looking for your other oil, find out you don't have any, etc. It's not convenient, or professional.





Jojoba is a good oil, hypo-allergenic as far as I have ever known, and has a nice glide to it. I like that one because it's fairly close in composition to the skin's own natural oils, and so the skin absorbs it better than other oils.
I love jojoba oil the best of all massage oils . It is light and very spreadable without being excessively oily in feel. A massage with gloves I have never heard of...I would certainly NEVER pay for a message with gloved hands!


Another lovely oil but expensive is buckthorn oil. It can be mixed with grapeseed oil in a 75% grapeseed to 25% buckthorn blend.
I usually use jojoba oil. I love it. Great glide and a super long shelf life. It is very healthy for the skin too
