You can make your own massage oil using a blend of carrier oils and aromatic additions.One of the following oils can be used as a carrier oil.You can add essential oils, herbs, flowers, or scented plant products.If you want to make your own oil out of nuts, make sure that anyone who will be using it doesn't have an allergy to the ingredients.
Step 1: Discuss the possibilities of combinations of oils.
What ideas do you have to make a special blend of massage oil?
Step 2: Make a note of your ideas in a book that is specifically made for you.
If you discover a blend that works well, keep notes so you can replicate it again.
Step 3: You should make sure the blends you choose are compatible with your skin type.
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: Take the costs and calculate them.
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: 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 involved in making massage oil by taking some time.
You will need at least half an hour to make the oils.
Step 7: You can put the carrier oil in 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: Store the oils in a way that is safe.
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.
