How do you make romantic massage oil?

Published in Massage Oil Recipe 3 mins read

To make romantic massage oil, you'll primarily blend carrier oils with essential oils known for their relaxing and sensual properties. Here's how:

Ingredients:

  • Carrier Oil (9 parts): This forms the base of your massage oil. Options include:

    • Sweet Almond Oil: A popular choice due to its light texture and skin-nourishing properties.
    • Jojoba Oil: Mimics the skin's natural oils, making it readily absorbed.
    • Coconut Oil (Fractionated): Stays liquid at room temperature and has a pleasant scent.
    • Olive Oil: A readily available and moisturizing option.
  • Castor Oil (1 part): Adding a small amount of castor oil can enhance the oil's viscosity and provide additional skin benefits.

  • Essential Oils (a few drops): These add fragrance and therapeutic properties. Romantic options include:

    • Ylang Ylang: Known for its aphrodisiac qualities.
    • Rose: Promotes feelings of love and well-being.
    • Jasmine: Intoxicating and sensual.
    • Sandalwood: Grounding and relaxing.
    • Lavender: Calming and promotes relaxation.
    • Clary Sage: Can help relieve stress and promote euphoria.

Instructions:

  1. Combine Carrier and Castor Oil: In a clean glass bottle, blend the carrier oil of your choice with the castor oil in a 9:1 ratio. For example, use 9 tablespoons of carrier oil and 1 tablespoon of castor oil.
  2. Add Essential Oils: Start with a few drops (3-6 drops per ounce of carrier oil) of your chosen essential oil(s). Remember that less is more, and you can always add more if desired. Blend complimentary scents for a custom experience.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Gently shake the bottle to combine all the oils.
  4. Let it Rest: Allow the mixture to stand overnight. This allows the scents to meld together and the essential oils to fully infuse the carrier oil.
  5. Test and Adjust: Before using on a larger area, test a small amount of the massage oil on your skin to check for any allergic reactions or sensitivities. Adjust the amount of essential oil if needed.

Important Considerations:

  • Quality: Use high-quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils for the best results.
  • Storage: Store the massage oil in a dark glass bottle in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency and prevent oxidation.
  • Safety: Perform a patch test before using the oil all over the body. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin.
  • Pregnancy: If you are pregnant, consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils. Certain essential oils are not safe for use during pregnancy.
