Chapter VI · Section 8 of 11
Massage oils
Body oils intended for massage, kept clearly separate from lubricants and from latex.
What to look for
- Osmolality and pH
- Some public-health guidance discusses lubricant osmolality and pH. Manufacturers do not always publish these figures; when they do, they are worth noting for sensitive skin.
- Oil and latex
- Oil-based products, including many massage oils and household oils, are widely reported to weaken latex barriers. Keep them apart unless the packaging explicitly says otherwise.
