Mixing Massage Oil for Massage Shops

Mixing Massage Oil for Massage Shops

To create massage oil for a massage shop, you can use a Carrier Oil as the main component and then add extracts or essential oils to enhance properties and fragrance as desired.

Recommended Carrier Oils:

• Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum): A widely used carrier oil available in both Heavy and Very Light types. It acts as an emollient, making the skin soft and smooth without being greasy or clogging pores. It does not go rancid easily and has a long shelf life. Can be used at a concentration of 1-100%.

Other Extracts/Oils that can be mixed:

• Holy Basil Oil: An essential oil from holy basil leaves. Can be mixed in to add fragrance and aromatherapy properties.
• Honey Extract (For Natural Honey Odor, Oil-Soluble): An oil-soluble honey extract suitable for adding a natural sweet honey scent to massage oil formulas. Use at a concentration of approximately 0.1-1.0%.
• Dried Ginger (for oil-based): Dried ginger for oil infusion. Can be infused into a carrier oil to impart the properties of ginger, often used in massage for muscle aches and pains.

Additional Recommendations:

• The concentration of essential oils or extracts should follow the usage recommendations for each specific type for safety and effectiveness.
• It is advisable to test on a small group before using on many customers.
• Different carrier oils can be mixed together to achieve the desired texture.
