Massage Oils and Creams FAQs
What's the best oil for massage?
Sweet almond oil is a classic choice because it's light, smooth and gives long-lasting glide. Jojoba suits sensitive skin and absorbs well, while coconut oil is rich and moisturizing. Avoid nut-based oils if you or your partner has a nut allergy.
Can I put essential oils directly on skin?
Most essential oils are highly concentrated and can irritate skin if used undiluted. Blend a few drops into a carrier oil such as almond or jojoba, follow the product's dilution guide and patch test first.
Do massage oils stain sheets?
Oils can mark fabrics, especially darker or scented blends. Lay a towel or massage sheet underneath, use only as much oil as you need and wash linens promptly in warm water.
Massage oil or cream?
Massage oil gives long, smooth glide for full-body massage, while creams and balms offer more grip and less mess for targeted areas like shoulders, hands and feet. Many people keep one of each.
Are essential oils safe for pets?
Some essential oils, including tea tree, can be toxic to cats and dogs, whether applied, licked or diffused in closed rooms. Keep bottles out of reach, ventilate rooms and ask your vet before using oils around pets.
Can I use massage oil on my face?
Only use oils labeled for facial use, as body oils can feel heavy and may clog pores. Keep oils away from your eyes, and patch test first.
How much oil should I use?
Start with about a teaspoon warmed in your hands and add more as needed. Too much oil makes massage slippery and messy, while too little causes friction.
Are warming oils safe?
Warming oils are designed to create a gentle warm sensation. Patch test first, avoid broken or sensitive skin and the face, and wash your hands after use. Stop if the feeling becomes uncomfortable.
Can I use massage oils while pregnant?
Some essential oils aren't recommended during pregnancy. Check with your doctor or midwife before using scented massage products.
How long do massage oils last?
Most last 6 to 12 months after opening. Discard any oil that smells rancid or changes color.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.

Unopened, sealed products can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Opened personal care products can't be returned for hygiene reasons. Email support@globalswanky.com with your order number to start a return, and there's no restocking fee.
