Massage Oil

Massage oils are an indispensable tool for relaxation, muscle regeneration and for making intimate moments more pleasant. But it can be difficult to choose the right one from a wide range. It depends on the purpose of use, personal preferences and the needs of your skin. Find out what aromatic massage oils are good for, when to use a warming massage oil and what an edible body massage oil is good for.

Relaxing Massage Oil

Need to relax after a busy day? Reach for aromatic massage oils to soothe your mind and body. You can choose natural massage oils with fragrant extracts or opt for a fragrance-free massage oil to which you can add a few drops of essential oil according to your current mood. 

• Lavender massage oil – calms the mind, relieves stress and contributes to quality sleep.
• Chocolate massage oil – evokes feelings of happiness and well-being, reduces stress, and beautifully hydrates skin.
• Jasmine massage oil – has aphrodisiac and energising effects.

Massage Oil for Muscle Relaxation

A muscle-relaxing massage oil usually contains either warming or cooling ingredients to help relieve muscle tension and ease pain. 

• Warming oils (e.g. cinnamon or ginger) improve blood circulation and relieve muscle tension, especially after physical exercise. You can also try a warming massage cream for muscles and joints. It is quickly absorbed and warms up very intensely.
• Cooling oils (e.g. menthol or eucalyptus) help to soothe pain and swelling. They are perfect for relieving acute pain or inflammation.

Body Massage Oil for Dry and Sensitive Skin

For sensitive skin, preferably use a natural bio massage oil to regenerate and hydrate it. You should be especially wary of cheap perfumed massage oils, which can irritate skin.

• Almond massage oil – hydrates and regenerates sensitive skin.
• Hemp massage oil – has soothing and regenerating effects, takes care of problematic skin.

Oil for Facial Massage

Facial massage oil should be light, non-comedogenic and hydrating to gently nourish skin without the risk of irritation. Almond, jojoba or argan oils, are ideal, and are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. You can use them for a manual facial massage, for a treatment using facial massage tools or simply to hydrate your skin instead of using a cream. 

Anti-cellulite Massage Oil

Regular massaging of problematic areas can also reduce the appearance of cellulite. Massage promotes blood circulation in skin and subcutaneous tissue, which helps to remove toxic substances and excess water. In addition, anti-cellulite massage oil hydrates skin, making it more elastic and smoother after the massage. With a combination of oil and special massage techniques or anti-cellulite devices, the effect can be even more visible. 

• Cinnamon massage oil – promotes blood circulation in skin, accelerates fat metabolism in subcutaneous tissue and helps to smooth problematic areas.

Massage Oil for Babies 

A relaxing tummy and full body massage is part of many babies’ daily routine. It is designed to release tension in the body, improve sleep, stimulate blood circulation, lymphatic system and intestinal peristalsis. At the same time, it strengthens the bond between baby and parents. You can use calendula oil, almond oil jojoba oil, olive oil or even choose an oil with essential extracts to massage your baby’s tummy. 

Professional Massage Oils

Massage oils for massage therapists provide long lasting lubrication, making the massage pleasant and comfortable throughout the treatment. They usually contain high-quality plant oils (e.g. almond, jojoba or grapeseed) that nourish skin without clogging it. At the same time, massage oils are easily and quickly absorbed and contain aromatherapy essential oils for relaxation and soothing. 

Tip! For professional (or frequent home) use we recommend massage oil 1l. 

Erotic Massage Oils 

Maybe you like to indulge in an extra dose of romance in your intimate relationship. Erotic massage oil creates a sensual atmosphere and enhances the intimate experience.

• Edible massage oils – let your imagination run wild with flavours such as chocolate, vanilla or fruit.
• Aphrodisiac oils – bring essential oils such as ylang-ylang, jasmine or rose with aphrodisiac effects into play.
• Warming massage oils – stimulate blood circulation in intimate parts and improve the erotic experience.

Perineal Massage Oil

Mothers, especially expectant mothers, know that by regularly massaging the perineum they can prevent unpleasant injuries during childbirth. Whether you're looking for an oil for a regular massage or a massage oil for childbirth, choose gentle plant oils such as almond, argan or wheat germ oil. They are gentle on skin, while helping to soften, firm and increase skin elasticity. 

For the actual birth you can also take massage lavender oil with soothing essential ingredients. It has a soothing effect and creates a pleasant atmosphere. However, for safety it is important to choose natural and hypoallergenic oils which are fragrance-free and without chemical additives.
