What does Sea Silk Massage Oil do?
Two products in one — this luxuriously silky oil works as both a premium massage medium and an effective cleansing oil. Formulated with just four ingredients — Nereocystis bull kelp, Alaria seaweed, MCT coconut oil, and olive oil — it delivers exceptional glide for massage while also dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup when used as a cleanser. For spa professionals, this versatility means one product that serves multiple purposes in your treatment room: massage services, facial cleansing, double-cleanse protocols, and makeup removal.
What makes Sea Silk Massage Oil unique?
Four ingredients. Dual purpose. Pure ocean luxury.
The seaweed infusion:
- Nereocystis luetkeana (bull kelp) — hand-harvested from the Salish Sea, delivers cellular-level hydration, marine minerals, and skin-conditioning benefits
- Alaria esculenta — rich in essential nutrients that nourish and strengthen skin during massage or cleansing
The oil base:
- MCT oil (caprylic/capric triglyceride) — derived from coconut, this lightweight oil provides exceptional glide without heaviness, absorbs beautifully, and won’t clog pores
- Olive oil (Olea europaea fruit oil) — rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, deeply nourishing and conditioning
Why it works for both massage and cleansing:
- The oil blend dissolves oil-based impurities (makeup, sunscreen, sebum) on contact
- MCT oil is lightweight enough to rinse clean or emulsify with water
- The seaweed infusion means you’re treating skin while you cleanse or massage
- No unnecessary additives — just pure, functional ingredients
