100% Jojoba Massage Oil – A Naturally Superior Product
Probably the best reason I know of for choosing 100% Jojoba Massage Oil is for the way it feels. There are so many reasons that I use the product, but for me the bottom line is how it works for massage. I like the sheerness of the product, meaning, I get a really good feel for the tissues beneath my fingers. I feel that I can easily regulate how much glide or friction I can achieve. With oncology massage, it’s a lot about the glide, but not a light and tickly touch. There needs to be full contact with a gentle, smooth glide, and I can get that using jojoba.

How to Make Calendula-Infused Jojoba Oil
For all the same reasons that jojoba makes a great carrier for essential oils, it also makes one of the best carrier oils for calendula infusion, herbs, and botanicals (see our post dedicated to this topic here). Infusing jojoba oil with calendula flowers and botanicals can take it up a notch, adding healing elements to […]
