You can make your own massage oil with a blend of carrier oils and aromatic additions.A carrier oil made from one of the following oils is ideal.You can add essential oils, herbs, flowers or scented plant products to these.If you want to make your own oil from nuts, make sure that anyone who will be using it doesn't have allergies to the ingredients.
Step 1: There are possible combinations of oils.
What ideas do you have to make a special blend of massage oil?
Step 2: You can make a note of your ideas for blends in a book.
If you discover a blend that works well, keep notes so you can replicate it again.
Step 3: You need to make sure the blends you choose are safe.
There is a low likelihood of the oils causing an allergic reaction if they are made with ingredients that are sensitive.The blend must include both carrier oil and essential oil.It is best to avoid nut- and peanut-derived oils if you have a nut allergy because they are highly allergenic to those who do not.The carrier oils that are popular for massage blends have low allergenic properties and include grape seed oil, soybean oil and corn oil.Coconut oil can cause irritation to the skin.It's important to remember that essential oils that are low in allergic reactions will depend on which oil.If an essential oil is marked synthetic, do not use it, it will cause an allergic reaction in susceptible people.As it's likely to be synthetic, don't buy essential oil that is too cheap compared to what the oil normally fetches."Single note" oils, such as peach scented or apple blossom scented, are likely to be synthetic.Read up on the properties of the essential oil you intend to add.The essential oil may have contraindications for certain people, such as the sick, the elderly and pregnant women.Some companies will make it very clear on their product that the essential oil is not good for you.Some essential oils can cause irritation to the skin of sensitive people.It is possible to choose organic sources for everything you use in the massage blend.Although it will raise the cost, this can make for a great selling point or be persuasive with a reluctant family member.
Step 4: You have to calculate the costs.
The cost of ingredients, tools and equipment is listed.This is important if you're making blends for your massage business or craft stall sales, as the products used can soon add up.
Step 5: You can make a recipe book for your favorite massage oil blends.
It is important to include the amount of each ingredient, costs, tools, equipment and time requirements.
Step 6: Prepare for the steps needed to make massage oil.
You will need at least half an hour to make the oils.
Step 7: You can put the carrier oil into a container.
The glass or ceramic container should be opaque and dark to help protect the oils from light damage, which can cause oils to go rancid quickly.You can use a funnel to pour the carrier oil.
Step 8: Add essential oils.
Natural ingredients can be used to scent the massage oil.Since this is for all skin types, you'll need to consider avoiding any scents that might irritate some people, such as anything too strong or flowery.
Step 9: It's a good idea to store the oils properly.
Decide the method you will use to preserve the oil, for example, a dark glass or ceramic bottle or jar.You should label the bottle to remember what it contains and how old it is.Add any instructions for using it.
