Banyan Botanicals Daily Massage Oil – Organic Ayurvedic Massage Oil – for All Skin Types & Doshas – Moisturizes, Nourishes The Tissues & Calms The Mind – 4oz. – Non GMO Sustainably Sourced Vegan

This product was recommended in an Ayurvedic self-massage class I took. The class was given by an Ayurvedic professional who has many years experience. There was a sample size of this oil in the class so I had a chance to use it before I purchased. The consistency is perfect. It feels like fine oil as it comes out of he container and is massaged onto the skin but it doesn’t leave an “oily” feel. It is the only oil I have ever tried have at least a mild “oily” feel after it is rubbed into the skin. The other thing about this oil is the aroma. It is not perfumed so at first sniff it is unusual…not pleasant nor unpleasant…the more I use it the more I like it. It is has an almost earthy smell…but not like soil…just natural. Now, I really like the aroma.

really like this oil. makes my skin feels very nourished. I use this everyday in the night before shower to give myself ayurvedic full body massage. my skin glows. does feel dry or oily after shower. my skin feels well hydrated and nourished. If you are used to authentic ayurvedic products smell is not a bother at all for me. Considering the benefits I get. Give your skin a little love everyday for 15 mins and your skin will thank you.

I've been using this oil for a long time. I used to add a few drops to my Vaseline Intensive Care lotion and apply it after a shower. That worked well, but lately, I've been using it more liberally as a pre-shower massage and then not using soap (except on necessary areas). It keeps my skin soft without being sticky. The scent is very soothing.

I love the smell of this stuff. Just wish the bottle was bigger.

I had read reviews from people who did not like the scent so maybe that prepared me a little. The scent is definitely herbal, not floral, even though lavender oil is listed in the ingredients. There is a slight warming quality to the oil and I get a sensation of slightly increased circulation after I apply it which I think may be coming from the gory kola. The oil is emoliente and spreads easily. I use it every morning and find that it moisturizes and lingers all day leaving my skin looking beautiful and feeling wonderful. I’ve gotten used to the scent and don’t think I’d change anything about the product. I use it now (early summer in the south) and will use it year round though my skin seems to be drier than others (I’m a vata). I highly recommend it if you are open to Ayurveda and not too fixated on a “commercial” type scent.

Excellent oil! Love the smell, the touch, the effects...

This massage oil is amazing. The herbal blend is very calming and healing. The oil soaks in amazingly well and fast. Very happy with it

It only relieved my dry skin for a few hours. I wasn’t fond of the smell, it didn’t smell bad but definitely wasn’t a pleasing smell. It’s thick but absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel too greasy. I kept it, but won’t buy again.
