Better sex essentials massage oil - oil discontinued by Sinclair Intimacy Institute&re - review by Airen Wolf

My search for a totally natural massage oil that has zero fragrance and won't bother sensitive skin is over. Better Sex Essential Massage Oil by Sinclair Intimacy Institute is now my go to oil of choice for massage and moisturizing.

With an ingredient list that reads: Golden jojoba oil, Sweet almond oil, Olive oil, Sunflower oil, Safflower oil it is immediately apparent that this oil is damn near perfect. No preservatives, no harsh chemicals, no scents to bother sensitive sinuses, nothing to clog pores it is just pure oil. It has a pleasing golden color and is WONDERFUL as a carrier oil for those users who like to blend their own scented massage oils.

The oil spreads on the surface of the skin easily and provides a lovely surface for a deep tissue massage as it takes a bit to sink into the skin completely. The oil provides a slick surface that allows the fingers and hands to glide over the skin reducing the friction and easing sore aching muscles. I have only found that I needed to add more during a massage during the winter months when the skin is stressed and dry from being in forced air homes.

Despite being 100% oil it doesn't leave you feeling like you are actually covered in heavy oil, your skin can still breathe. You won't feel like you need to rush off to the shower as it doesn't dry sticky and if it gets involved in the genital area it will sink in to the skin without causing bacteria to be trapped, leading to nasty things.

This isn't the most inexpensive of massage oils but for the price you get 4 fl oz in an attractive and minimalistic, recyclable plastic bottle with a flip top lid. The lid doesn't leak even if the bottle is left on it's side provided it is fully closed. You might still want to wrap it in a plastic baggy if you plan to travel, just to be on the safe side.

The oil will stain bedclothes such as satin or silk but comes out of cotton easily with just a washing. This oil washes off the skin with soap and water but leaves a really silky soft reminder of it's presence. Your skin will feel wonderful! I use it on rough elbows and heels after a shower or bath.

The oil has never been tested on animals which makes it even more wonderful in my opinion.

Sinclair Institute doesn't recommend using this oil as a sexual lubricant as it can and will degrade condoms and could cause problems for ladies who are prone to yeast or bacterial overgrowth.

The only 'problem' with this oil is that it is highly flammable. You should use extreme care if you are massaging a person near a lit candle or unshielded fireplace. Also if you have oil saturated on your hands take extreme care if you should say, light a cigarette or a gas stove.

If you plan to use this as a carrier oil remember to use a very small amount of essential oil, as some are very caustic. This oil will sink into the skin making it difficult to wash away the essential oil should you have a reaction. I have not had any problems when I keep the ratio to 2-4 drops of essential oil to a half cup of oil. It makes an amazing carrier oil but will leave an unpleasant oil slick in the bathtub so it is not really recommended for a 'soaking oil'. Be extremely careful standing up in a tub in which you have poured oil. Personally, I prefer straight virgin olive oil for soaking in the tub. Rinse the tub out carefully after your bath to prevent injury from slipping.

The product hasn't clouded up or give any indications that it is breaking down. It still works amazingly and we will be buying another bottle some time soon!
