  I’m afraid your question is too vague to easily answer.  If you have a specific question about massage oils feel free to post.

  @mcars:

  I don’t think you’re really going to notice any difference between essential oils in terms of longevity of scent.  More likely, if you are not added something to prevent rancidity of the base oil, such as tocopherol or rosemary, the change in scent will be more from rancidity of the base oil than anything else.

  For massage oils, you can mix any blend of base carrier oils you want … take a look at the Biotone website, they list all of the ingredients in their various massage oils.

  Ingredients	Function	% weight
  Moringa Oil	Emollient	92.80%
  Ethylhexyl Palmitate	Non greasy emollient	6%
  Vitamin E Acetate	Vitamin  E	1%
  Essential oil	Fragrance component	0.20%

  I changed my massage oil formulation to this. Any advice or comment? Thank you

  Why choose such an expensive oil as the main emollient?
