Cost Effective Oils
There are a few things to consider when you look for cost effective oils.
I ran a massage school for many years, and one of the things I noticed is that many students and even some graduates had a tendency to equate "cost effective" with cheap. They'd buy the cheapest table they could get, as well as the cheapest products. The tables usually had to be replaced within a year, but they'd often persist in using cheap products.
No one would buy an inferior oil to use for cooking, and I believe the same applies for the oil we use on our clients. A truly high quality is loaded with essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc. and can do many good things for your clients skin. A high quality avocado oil can, for example, heal, sooth and moisturize dry, aged, and sensitive skin, increase collagen, and may help in cases of eczema and psoriasis. A cheap, low quality oil offers little of those benefits.
My partner Carry and I started a company selling products and equipment for massage therapists and we determined that we only wanted high quality products that were ecologically sound. Carry had also worked at the massage school with me and we had both seen the "buy cheap" orientation of some students. What we found with Massage Oil is that a really high quality oil IS cost effective. They're rich and luscious, and I simply use less of them when I do massage.
I'd really urge folks to use a pure, undiluted massage oil. They're better for your clients, and they truly can be as cost effective. They also do great things for my hands
