Massage Oils
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is massage oil?
Oil is a common lubricant used in massage treatments that require a great deal of glide. These oils can be derived from seeds, nuts, plants and grain. Because of its thin consistency and slow absorption rate, this lubricant maximizes workability and pairs perfectly with longer treatments. To create a custom experience for your clients, mix with the essential oil of your choice.
When should I choose massage oil rather than lotion, cream, or gel?
Massage oils are best for these modalities: Swedish Massage, Maternity Massage, Aromatherapy Massage, Multi-Therapy Massage, Hot and Cold Stone Massage and Reflexology.

How do I remove oil stains?
Massage table linens are regularly doused with oils and lotions. Simply tossing them into the wash with other linens won’t be adequate...some sort of degreaser must be used. Experts suggest soaking sheets in dish soap or a citrus-based degreaser prior to laundering to successfully remove oil and lotion stains. Follow this step with a thorough wash in massage linen detergent. For best results, clean all linens within 24 hours of use.
Are massage oils messy?
The short answer is ‘yes.’ But like anything else, with proper preparation, you can minimize the mess and still use this highly regarded lubricant. Wearing a massage holster with refillable pump bottles brings the product closer to both you and your client and minimizes dripping. Remember...less is more. A small amount of oil goes a long way; using a small refillable pump bottle will let you control the amount of product you dispense. Simply spread the oil in your hands rather than directly to the client’s skin to avoid overuse. Have older towels nearby in case of a spill or overpour. And lastly be prepared to provide your client with either cloths or towels to further clean up after the service. A conveniently placed hamper or trash can will ensure the proper disposal of any messy materials.
DISCOVERING CBD MASSAGE OIL
WHAT EXACTLY IS CBD MASSAGE OIL?
CBD, an abbreviation for cannabidiol, is derived from the cannabis plant and is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and encourage relaxation. Although THC is also a derivative of the cannabis plant, they are separate compounds. The compound used in over-the-counter CBD products is not psychotropic meaning it has no intoxicating effect. CBD Massage Oil contains a base like coconut, jojoba, olive, or almond oil as well as CBD or hemp oil. Some brands will enhance the product with a variety of add-ins like essential oil or active ingredients to enhance pain relief. The amount of CBD in the oil is measured by milligrams and will be clearly noted on the label.
ADDING CBD MASSAGE TO YOUR PRACTICE
CBD Massage Services
CBD Massage is a combination of traditional massage treatment and CBD-infused massage products. These products are believed to soothe anxiety, reduce chronic pain and melt tension. Additionally, the active ingredients in CBD massage oil and creams are thought to offer pain-relieving agents that reduce inflammation within muscles and joints, allowing the massage therapist to work more effectively. As a result of this range of potential benefits, CBD massages can be marketed in a variety of ways including pain-relieving massage, treatments to relax and de-stress, or simply to improve the condition of the skin.
Although CBD massage oil can replace regular oil in existing protocols, consider creating unique names for these services and group them into a CBD Treatment Menu of sorts. Of course, entirely new services are always exciting as well. Offerings may include add-ons like a CBD massage oil, lotion, or scrub at the end of a pedicure or full-service pain-relieving deep tissue, Swedish, or sports therapy massages designed to target specific areas of the body.
CBD Retail Opportunities
The CBD products market is a multi-billion dollar industry projected to quadruple in the coming years. After determining the best CBD products for your services, consider investing in a CBD retail strategy to enhance your bottom line. By selling quality CBD massage oils, topical analgesics or scrubs, your clients can continue to experience the benefits of your treatments at home as well as add to your overall revenue.
Please note: Selling CBD products is dictated by state law and should be researched thoroughly in your home municipality before adding this strategy to your business.
