There are many options oils and lotions for therapists to use, and I use coconut oil.

Why?

It is light and absorbs in the skin well leaving no oily after feeling. 

It is healthy for skin as a moisturizer, and may have some antibacterial and anti fungal qualities. 

No fragrances so you won't walk out smelling like roses.  Well, maybe coconut cookies . . . .j/k.

No chemicals that are harsh on the skin.

No deep stains on my sheets requiring extra chemicals or bleach to clean (environmental benefit).

It's edible like play doh and silly putty . . . two of my favorite toys.  

Be Well,  Jesse
