BABY MASSAGE OIL

Massage oils is defined as oil-based products to be applied to the skin to contribute to the well-being of the consumer.

Massage oils may be products for general application to the complete body or products applied to specific areas of the body, e.g., areas with cellulites and stretch marks in the skin.

A number of oils with the designation ‘body oils’ were found in the shops. These oils are marketed as a type of body lotion to be applied to dry skin, e.g. just after bathing. As these products are marketed for the well-being of the consumer, they are assessed to be applied for massage too.

The limit between massage and body oils seems to be very vague. Both massage and body oils can be applied directly to the skin and their ingredients seem to be identical. Essential oils, however, should not be applied directly to the skin, but must be mixed with basic oil before application.

Massage oils for physical well-being are marketed as massage oils. They may be pure oils or contain a very complex oil phase based on either vegetable oils or – which is less frequently, mineral oil-based.

Oils marketed to babies can be both bathing, body and massage oil. The products can be marketed for physical comfort and for application in a specific area, e.g. for massage of the stomach. The main part of the products with a mineral based oil composition is found within the baby oils.

Body oils are marketed as body lotions, and sometimes also as combined body and massage oils. Application is recommended all over the body after bath and in areas with dry skin.

Essential oils are extracted from the leaves and flowers of the plant and have often a strong fragrance.

Essential oils for massage are not to be applied alone.

The purpose of purchasing the massage oils is the identify and make a survey of the selection of these products in the Danish market. As a great number of massage oils for physical well-being and oil-based products for babies are marketed, a number of purchasing selection criteria were set up.

A statistical analysis of the increasing sales volume of baby oil toiletries in the over all cosmetic market indicates their relative importance to the manufacturer and retailer. These products include powder, oil, lotion, cream, soap shampoo; cotton swabs soft wash cloths and brushes.

The basis underlying factor is the tremendous recent and prospective birth rate coupled with the effective educational and promotional effect of manufacturer, retailer and physicion which have emphasized the need for special products for babies.
