Why did we choose to create a range of massage oils without essential oils?

Essential oils have always enjoyed a great reputation in the wellness world. But at Sâgeskincare , we made the deliberate choice to design massage oils without essential oils . Here's why.

1. Essential oils are never harmless

Even in small doses, essential oils possess powerful active ingredients . They can influence the body in different ways: through the skin, through smell, but also through accumulation over time.

2. The accumulation of active ingredients in a mixture

A massage oil is often composed of several ingredients. If you add several essential oils to the same formula, their effects don't cancel each other out: they add up . This can, over time, expose the body to significant cumulative doses, sometimes without realizing it.

3. A large application area

Unlike a targeted treatment, a massage oil is applied to large areas of the body, or even the entire body, during a session. Exposure to the active ingredients is therefore much greater than in a simple face cream or serum.

4. The therapist is also exposed

It's often forgotten, but during each massage, the therapist handles the oil with their bare hands, several times a day . They also unwittingly absorb these active ingredients through the skin. In the long term, this repetition can create sensitivities, or even unwanted reactions.

5. Caution is advised with essential oils

Many experts agree that essential oils should be used very sparingly and with discernment . They are great, but they are not suitable for all skin types or situations.

Our alternative: massage oils without compromise

At Sâgeskincare , we preferred to work differently:

✔ Without essential oils

✔ No contraindications : our oils are suitable for all skin types and can be used safely, including during regular care, on sensitive or fragile people

✔ With high-quality perfumes, created by renowned houses, notably in Grasse

✔ With formulas validated by an independent toxicologist, to guarantee their safety and skin tolerance

The result? Professional, safe, sensory massage oils that respect both the client's and the practitioner's skin.

Formulas without compromise, without risk and without contraindications.

Because a massage is above all a moment of well-being, not a silent risk.
