ono? oh YES!

Overall, I am very happy with this product (even though the bottle broke and put me into hysterical laughter). I will be purchasing this ONO massage oil again, for sure. I would be happy to receive something like this as a gift, and I am going to be giving this as part of a gift bag at bridal showers because I feel this is a product that is discreet and can be used romantically without screaming raunchy kinky sex, but it can be used just for personal moisturizing.

Use

ONO massage oil by LELO is a very nice, warm feeling, all natural ingredient product. It is comprised of naturally skin enriching ingredients: Prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, vitis vinifera (grape seed) oil, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, perfume (lindool, citronellol, d-limonene). ONO massage oil is designed to be hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (so it shouldn't irritate your skin - I have very sensitive dry skin, prone to breakout, so natural products are important to me).

This product is meant to be used externally only, as a massage aid and/or moisturizer. This product is not designed to be edible.

I looked up each ingredient, they are all naturally derived and only the last ingredient (d-limonene) is classified as being specifically not edible due to possible impurities.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

I feel that ONO massage oil has a very desirable consistency, it is lightweight and slippery without having a greasy or sticky feeling or residue. My mate has very very dry skin and I could see and feel his skin absorbing this nourishing oil.

This product is designed with the secondary purpose of being a moisturizer. If you have ever used a cuticle oil, I would compare ONO massage oil to having a very similar feel.

We did not shower after use and the next morning neither of us feel sticky, just nice and soft.
    • Smooth
    • Thin

Taste / Aroma

I used "jojoba / red mandarin" and I really like the smell, it has a smell of oranges without being over powering. I ordered this scent because I was hoping it would be gender neutral (don't want to send my man to work smelling like roses!). We did not shower after use, and in the morning our bedroom has a slight and refreshing orange scent.
    • Light smell
    • Smells good

Performance

We accidentally used "too much" (due to user error / packaging error), which was ok because it just prolonged the massage. There was apparently a double tamper seal, I unscrewed the cap to remove the seal - removed it - screwed the cap back on - flipped it open - and squeezed. When I had removed the cap I smelled it (liked the smell), and also put a dab on my fingertip to rub on the back of my hand to get a familiarity with the consistency and how much I will use. I was sure that I had removed the entire safety seal but I did notice some bit of plastic looking thing in the nozzle, which I thought was perhaps a gasket since the oil is quite thin. So I squeezed, nothing came out, I squeezed a little harder - the end seal on the bottom of the bottle separated and basically half the oil in the bottle burst out the end, fortunately about half of that landed on his back. We laughed so hard, I can't even explain, I had tears streaming from my eyes. I've washed my sheets already this morning and very surprisingly, it did not leave marks on my sheets (I don't think I'd really care if it did, I buy cheap sheets anyways).



That said, I would easily recommend probably a tablespoon as being sufficient for back and arms. ONO massage oil is nice and slippery and rubs into dry skin nicely. We did not wash it off of our bodies or hands, but I'm sure just plain soap and water would easily wash it off if desired.
    • Absorbs into skin nicely

Packaging

The tube of massage oil comes in a glossy black box, it's quite lovely and has a very upscale appearance. The packaging is very tasteful and I would have absolutely no problem to leave it out on my nightstand or bathroom vanity. There are instructions on the package as well as an ingredient list.





    • Discreet looking packaging
    • Very informative packaging
    • Would make a nice gift
Follow-up commentary
Well, the first tube that we ordered broke. There is still some left in the tube and I've been just using a clip to keep it closed.

I ordered a second tube, because I really do like the product itself. I unscrewed the cap and removed ALL of the safety seal this time. The oil does pour out quite nicely.

On a side note, it didn't stain my sheets when it poured out all over the place accidentally, but it did leave a mark on my pillow (not the pillowcase) and my pillow smelled like oranges for several days. We joked about it every night: "smells like a disaster in here!"

    good review, thanks for sharing. I have all three scents, and love them all. Have never broken one of the tubes though. Good thing it washed out of your sheets.

    Thanks for the review, sorry to hear about the broken tube. Glad your sheets didn't get stained I am worried that oils or lubes would stain my sheets

    These particular sheets are sky blue - so I used a splash of bleach - it could be why
