What Is Regular Body Oil?
Traditional body oils are designed to reduce friction and help hands glide smoothly over the skin during a massage. Most use plant-based carrier oils such as almond, grapeseed, jojoba, or coconut, which work beautifully for relaxing muscles and moisturizing skin.
However, many commercial body oils can contain additives that are meant to enhance scent or sensation.
While these ingredients can smell nice, they aren’t always ideal if massage becomes more... intimate. Some additives are all about scent, not flavor, and you don't want that stuff getting in your mouth.
Likewise, anything that contains real sucrose or fructose (ie. sugar) can inadvertently create a breeding ground for yeast and bacteria - which is definitely not a good thing for lady-parts.
For these reasons and more, it's best to choose an edible massage oil for any massage where tasting or more intimate contact might happen.

Are Edible Massage Oils Safe?
When made with high-quality oils and food-grade flavorings, edible massage oils are safe for external use and tasting.
They’re not meant to replace actual food, of course — but they’re designed so the massage experience stays enjoyable if things get a little… enthusiastic.
As with any body product, it's a good idea to patch-test before taking a bath in the stuff. 😆
