Sandal Olive Body Massage Oil puts sandalwood and olive oil at the centre of a slow, unhurried massage for skin that feels dry and a body that feels tired. A nourishing oil with enough slip for a proper massage, formulated for hydration and relaxation, with no liquid paraffin, artificial colour or fragrance.
FOR SKIN THAT FEELS DRY AND A BODY THAT WANTS TEN SLOW MINUTES
A massage oil has two jobs: enough slip for hands to work without dragging, and enough nourishment to leave skin softer once the massage is over. Olive oil does the moisturising; sandalwood turns ten minutes of rubbing into a ritual you will actually repeat.
Olive oil is a classic emollient. Massaged into damp skin it slows water loss and leaves skin feeling soft and nourished rather than tight.
A massage oil has to let hands glide without dragging the skin. This one is formulated for exactly that: smooth to work with, absorbed by the time you are done.
Sandalwood is prized in Indian tradition for its warm, woody scent and a cooling, soothing feel on skin. The scent comes from the ingredient; the pack states no artificial fragrance.
No mineral-oil base, no artificial colour and no artificial fragrance, as printed on the pack.
Suits normal and dry skin on arms, legs, back and shoulders. It is a botanical oil, so patch test on the inner forearm before first use if your skin is sensitive.
ONE SANDALWOOD HERO · ONE OLIVE OIL IN SUPPORT
Sandalwood is the character of the formula. Olive oil is the body of it: the slip, the nourishment and the softness afterwards. Open each card for what the ingredient is known for, without pretending that a plant extract and a measured result on this bottle are the same thing.
Sandalwood heartwood carries santalols, the compounds behind its warm, woody scent. In Indian skincare chandan is prized for a cooling, soothing feel on skin and for the calm its scent brings to a massage. This card describes the ingredient, not a measured result on this bottle.
Olive oil is rich in oleic acid, with squalene and vitamin E in smaller amounts. It is one of the oldest massage oils in use and is known for its emollient, softening feel on skin. As with every card here, the claim is about the ingredient, not a result on the finished product.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MASSAGE CLAIM AND A MASSAGE ROUTINE
Body skin dries faster than the face: hot showers, hard water and clothing friction all take their toll, and the shoulders and calves that carry the day rarely get touched at all.
An oil massage answers both at once. The oil slows water loss from skin that is already damp, and the massage itself is where the relaxation comes from. The honest payoff is skin that feels softer while it stays hydrated, and a sandalwood scent that makes the ten minutes feel earned.
THE TEN-MINUTE MASSAGE RITUAL
Use a little at a time and add more as hands start to drag; oil spreads further than you expect. Follow the current pack for quantity and frequency, and patch test before first use.
Pour a small amount into your palm and rub your hands together for a few seconds. Warm oil spreads more easily and feels better on skin.
Work upwards from feet and hands toward the heart, using long strokes on limbs and circles on joints and shoulders. Add a little more oil whenever hands start to drag.
Leave the oil on for at least ten minutes before a warm bath, or massage it into damp skin after bathing and let it absorb. Follow the current pack for frequency.

THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK BEFORE THEIR FIRST BOTTLE
Used for a massage, the oil is worked in until it absorbs. If skin still feels oily afterwards, you have used more than you need; a little goes a long way, especially on damp skin.
Either works. Before a bath, massage it in and leave it for ten minutes or more, then rinse. After a bath, massage a smaller amount into damp skin and let it absorb.
The 200 ml bottle suits occasional massages and travel. The 300 ml bottle suits regular full-body use.
No. The pack states liquid paraffin free, with no artificial colour or fragrance.
It is sold and directed as a body massage oil. If you want to try it on the face, patch test first and keep it away from the eyes.
It is a botanical oil, and sandalwood is a scented ingredient. Patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before first full use.
