When you look for massage oil, you want something that feels good, smells beautiful, and supports your skin—not something filled with synthetic ingredients or artificial fragrance. That’s why more people are switching to organic body oils for massage. The question is: are they really better? The short answer is yes—and not just for your skin, but for your overall well-being.
Why Organic Massage Oils Make a Difference
Your skin absorbs much of what you apply to it. Using an organic massage oil made with clean, food-grade ingredients means you're avoiding harsh chemicals, synthetic preservatives, and petroleum-based fillers. These ingredients are common in conventional massage oils and can clog pores, irritate sensitive skin, or disrupt your skin’s natural barrier.
Organic oils, on the other hand, are made with pure plant oils like sunflower, jojoba, or grapeseed. These base oils are rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids that support skin health. When blended with essential oils, they also offer real aromatherapeutic benefits—calming, grounding, or uplifting, depending on what you need.
Better for Therapists, Too
If you're a massage therapist or bodyworker, the oils you use daily affect your skin, your breath, and your energy. A professional massage oil made with organic, non-toxic ingredients is safer for long-term use. It's also a more mindful experience for your clients.
Essance Skincare offers high-quality blends like the Joy Body Oil, a bright, energizing formula that hydrates while lifting the spirit. It’s perfect for daily use or revitalizing massage sessions. And for a more personalized experience, Essance also offers concentrated Essences—like Love Essence and Dream Essence—designed for use as natural perfumes or added to carrier oils for massage therapy.
Body Oil vs. Essence: What's the Difference?
While both body oils and essences are made with therapeutic botanicals, their concentration and purpose differ. Body oils—like Joy, Love, and Dream Body Oil—are pre-blended with carrier oils, making them ready to use for full-body hydration or massage. They’re rich, nourishing, and glide beautifully across the skin.
Essences, by contrast, are more potent and concentrated. They're crafted primarily with essential oils and minimal carrier oil, making them ideal for use as natural fragrances or blended into your favorite base oil for a customized massage experience. Because they’re so concentrated, a little goes a long way—and the aromatherapeutic benefits are more intense.

How to Use Full Body Massage Oil
Start with warm, slightly damp skin to help the oil absorb. Rub a small amount between your hands before applying to the body. Use long, gentle strokes for general relaxation, or deeper pressure where there's tension. A quality body oil should glide easily without leaving a greasy residue—just soft, nourished skin.
For Essences, add a few drops to your favorite neutral carrier oil—like jojoba or almond—for a personalized massage blend, or apply directly to pulse points as a natural perfume.
So, Are Organic Massage Oils Better?
Yes, and for good reasons. They're safer for your skin, healthier for your body, and more sustainable for the planet. Whether you're using them at home or in your practice, organic massage oils offer better quality, cleaner ingredients, and more meaningful self-care.
Essance’s organic massage oils and essences are handcrafted in small batches using certified organic, food-grade ingredients. Each product is thoughtfully formulated to support your skin, elevate your rituals, and bring more joy and presence to your everyday life.
