    aromatherapy

    Hi!

    Any ideas on where I can buy some aromatherapy/massage oils? Specifically after some Jojoba oil.

    Thanks

    try e-kiro, being wholesalers their pricing is competitive, without requiring you to stock up

    jojoba oil

    contains: protein, minerals, plant wax, myristic acid.
    uses: mimics sebum, penetrates skin very rapidly, therefore not good for massage, but excellent for nourishing skin. healing for inflamed skins, psoriasis, eczema and any sort of dermatitis. can help control acne and oily skin or scalp since excess sebum actually dissolves in jojoba. anti-oxidant, may help extend the life of other oils. used also for hair care. useful for all skin types. myristic acid is anti-inflammatory, so this could be a good base oil for treating rheumatism and arthritis

    There are lots of outlets where you can get really nice fragrant stuff including aromatherapy oils- try any of the l' Occitaine shops (there's one at IFC 2) or a shop (IFC 1) called 'fruits and passions' which has some beautiful stuff including vinaigrettes, jellies, candles, soaps, fruity perfumes and a range of mens products which smell gorgeous...check out http://www.fruits-passion.com/

    Oh yes, Fruits & Passion - what a terrific range of products! Seems everything is made near Montreal. Canada's French answer to the French! Air Canada used to feature them on board, amenity kits and in all their lounges. And always one of the great buys in Canada. Didn't know they had spread their outlets this far.
