Aromatherapy & Massage Therapy
Rapeseed Oil is Perfect as a Carrier Oil for Aromatherapy and Massage.
Ownsworth’s award winning home-grown rapeseed oil is grown from oilseed rape planted on our family farm in Lincolnshire. The seed is then cold pressed and bottled by us in our specially designed Pressing Shed providing total traceability for this high quality oil.
Rapeseed oil is high in omegas 3, 6 and 9, vitamin K and contains a good amount of anti-oxidant Vitamin E, which is a powerful lipid soluble anti-oxidant. Vitamin E is perfect for softening and nourishing your skin especially when having a relaxing massage and gentle enough for a baby’s skin.
Rapeseed oil makes a perfect carrier oil for the extensive range of fabulous smelling and health promoting aromatherapy essential oils which are readily available from either your local chemist or your aromatherapist (see local press Yellow Pages for listings).
We visit Clinical Aromatherapist Paula from Paula Hinton Aromatherapy at Allington near Grantham www.paulahintonaromatherapy.co.uk and her feedback on using our oil for massage is-:
"Ownsworth Rapeseed oil has become a firm favorite of mine for all types of massage. With its mellow yellow hue, this virtually odourless oil provides a light clean feel that glides smoothly over the skin making it a perfect choice of carrier oil for aromatherapy massage.
Hailed as the ‘British olive oil’ rapeseed oil is high in antioxidants which help to protect the skin against the main causes of skin ageing, such as ultra violet light, radiation and air pollutants. Its high content of Vitamin A promotes cell division and helps protect the skins cells against UV radiation.
This highly emollient oil is a great choice for facial use too. With the addition of tiny amounts of essential oils; such as wrinkle fighting Frankincense or skin calming Roman chamomile; a tailor made skin oil can be created. Used daily rapeseed oil can brighten, soothe and protect the skin.
In addition to all this the fact that Ownsworth rapeseed oil is grown and cold pressed just down the road from me adds to its allure. Along with its local provenance I love knowing how the oil was obtained, using as little processing as possible, so keeping all its nutrients intact."

Unlike some of the other carrier oils available, rapeseed oil remains extremely good value for money as well as containing all the vitamin E rich and skin softening properties. Not to mention rapeseed oil from the UK is local, has no air miles and is supporting the British farming industry - thus putting money back into the local and national economy!
