Massage Oil - so much choice

I have just had quite a chat with a parent whose baby son suffers with dry skin. She has been using the fractionated coconut oil that her infant massage teacher supplied her with, which she likes, but wanted to know more about oils that might help 'feed' the skin. In my experience, the sunflower oil, with added vit E is a really good, easy to find one (in some health shops and supermarkets, if not Touch-Needs, but even better, if you can stretch a little more, regarding the price, sunflower with added calendula is simply the best (definitely available from Touch-Needs)! Calendula is such a wonderful, healing oil, it soothes and moisturisers the skin so well. I always have a bottle handy for my classes with parents, just in case a little more than the sunflower would be useful and the parents really appreciate the thought. (Whatever oil you supply, always advise parents to do a patch test before applying to a large area of the body.)
