Apricot kernel oil is great for massage it is organic and you can add any essential oil to it.

In reply to Misty.

I have just been intorduced to Fractionated Coconut Oil this year, I was happy with it untill just now I read your post here…Can I get more info on this please. It is a real concern of mine as to who is telling you the truth about the products they sell to us as to how honest they are with their product…You want to trust but people making money could be all they are about as to whether they are selling us a true NATURAL product or not. I usually do a lot of research on items before I buy. And look for lots of good feed back.
I know Fiji grow lots of coconuts as I have been there, maybe I should look for FCO from their country.
You may have just burst my bubble on FCO….

I would not use mineral oil on anything! Why bother spending money on pure essential oils only to drop them in mineral oil?

I can’t really decide what they are saying about the oils. Celeste can you elaborate? What oils are good?

In reply to Celeste. Why is olive oil bad for adult skin? Or any skin for that matter?

You should know – olive oil is bad for adult skin, and even more so for newborn/baby skin.

I bought some aura cacia lavender massage oil at Target and I love it. It was only $8 or so. It smells wonderful and a little goes a long way. I will also add a drop of frankincense to a bit and massage it on my toddler’s upper body when she has a cough and it helps a ton.

I have been using the Cool Relief Blend that my massage therapist uses each time I visit her studio.

I would encourage you to remove Fractionated Coconut Oil from the list. This oil has been so altered from it’s original state that it will undo any therapeutic benefits you will get from using organic carriers and essential oils. The other options suggested would all be better choices. All the certified Aromatherapists I know (myself included) will not use Fractionated Coconut Oil.
