  Not specific brands, but I've found myself using grapeseed and avacado cooking oils. They're usually cheaper than the exact same thing in the skincare isle. I haven't had any complaints from clients.

  If you can locate a poplar tree, poplar buds, soaked in olive oil, reveal a pungent and very healing massage oil. DIY all the way! Of course, we're past spring buds now, 'cept for way up north perhaps...

    I sometimes use unrefined pure shea butter (organic fair trade). It has a slight 'nutty' aroma, but my clients LOVE what it does for their skin. Sometimes I melt it with pure cocoa butter and throw in a bit of essential oils. This gives me the ability to customize aromatherapy for each client.
