• Sweet Almond Oil (Oleum Amygdalae)
  Used to treat skin problems by the ancient Romans, this is one of the primary oils used world wide as a massage medium. It is extracted from the sweet almond and it has a very slight odour and a nutty taste and is pale yellow in colour.
  
  This oil has been traditionally used by massage therapists to lubricate the skin during a massage session and is considered by to be an effective emollient which allows hands to glide easily over skin. Sweet almond oil is absorbed fairly quickly, but not so quickly that you need to keep reapplying it.

• Apricot kernel oil
  Similar in texture and colour to sweet almond oil, it is rich in vitamin E which gives it a longer shelf life than many oils. It is readily absorbed into the skin, so it won't leave people feeling greasy afterwards and this oil is often used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy.
  
  

• Jojoba Oil
  Jojoba is actually a wax extracted from the seed of the jojoba plant and the unrefined jojoba oil and has a clear golden colour at room temperature and a slightly fatty odor. Refined jojoba oil (as with most oils) is colorless and odorless.
  
  Jojoba oil is a very silky and quickly absorbed oil and needs to be reapplied often or mixed with other oils. It is has mild antibacterial properties and contains long chain wax esters that closely resembles skin sebum and very rarely causes skin irritations. Jojoba has a very long shelf life and is a favorite carrier oil for aromatherapy.
   
• Coconut Oil
  Coconut oil is actually a light non-greasy oil popular as a sunscreen and its pleasant coco-nutty odour can often be smelt on our beaches.  The unprocessed oil at room temperature is normally a solid fat, however it is normally processed using heat and chemicals, so if buying, check its purity of manufacture.
  
  Organic Virgin Coconut oil is sourced from the local communities on the unpolluted tropical islands of the South Pacific. The oil is cold pressed on certified organic plantations to produce a high quality virgin coconut oil, free from any trans-fatty acids and an important source of Medium Chain Triglycerides, especially Lauric Acid. Coconut oil is an saturated fat, which is highly heat resistant and thus ideal for cooking, baking or frying. It can be easily blended with other oils (olive oil or butter) and can be enjoyed in salads, smoothies or simply on its on.
  
  Ideal for cooking, baking, frying or spreading. Delicious enough to eat straight from a spoon. A smooth, creamy, all purpose oil and is excellent as a skin moisturizer and softener though it may cause allergic reactions.
   
• Polysorbate 80 An Additive in Massage Oil
  Polysorbate 80 is added to some massage oils so that the oils will not stain sheets towels and clothing and it makes the oil water soluble so that oils completely wash out of any fabric in a normal cold wash cycle.
  
  For the massage therapist this helps to keep sheets and towels last longer, to smell clean and fresh, and reduce laundry expenses. For the customer any oil remaining on their body after a massage will easily wash off.
  
  Polysorbate 80 is derived from sorbitol which comes from fruit or sugar beet, and it is formed into a polymer which helps emulsify water and oil mixtures. It is an oil in water emulsifier, dispersant, and co-solubiliser and thickening agent suitable for use in bath oils and room sprays and "easy wash out" Massage Oils.
  
  The usage rate is between 1-50% depending on the application. Lower usage rates indicate when polysorbate 80 is used as a solubiliser, and the higher rates when used as a dispersant.
