Jasmine Massage Oil – Easy Homemade Recipe For Relaxing
There’s something about the scent of jasmine that instantly lifts the spirit. On those long, tense days when stress settles deep into my shoulders, I turn to this homemade jasmine massage oil. It’s a simple blend keep on hand for moments when I need to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with myself or with a loved one.
The main ingredients are deeply nourishing: a calming seed oil base, fragrant jasmine flower, and skin-loving Simmondsia chinensis (you probably know it as jojoba oil). Together, they create a lightweight oil that absorbs easily, helps relax tight muscles, and leaves skin feeling silky without being greasy. I alternate between this jasmine oil and my sunflower massage oil depending on my mood. One’s floral and sensual, the other is soft and nourishing.
I started making this blend when I wanted a more natural way to wind down at night—without reaching for a bottle of wine or my phone. A few drops warmed between my hands and massaged into the back of my neck became a nightly ritual. It not only eased physical tension but also became a small act of care that reminded me to slow down.

FAQ – Homemade Jasmine Massage Oil
Can I use this jasmine massage oil on my face?
Jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis) is very similar to the skin’s natural sebum and is generally safe for facial use. However, jasmine essential oil can be potent, so do a patch test first and dilute well.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Always consult with a healthcare provider. Jasmine essential oil is sometimes avoided in early pregnancy, but the seed oils used are typically safe.
Can I swap the carrier oils?
Yes! Try sunflower seed oil, apricot kernel oil, or even olive oil for a richer feel. Just make sure they’re cold-pressed and organic if possible.
