Professional body workers tend not to use mineral oil because it is so greasy -- it makes for too much \"slip\" on the skin, and it doesn\'t absorb all that easily into the skin, so your client has to shower before putting on clothing again.
You can make your own massage oil starting with grapeseed oil because it\'s so light, and adding richer, heavier oils such as apricot, or jojoba, depending on who you\'re mixing it for use on -- and there are excellent already mixed massage oils with little scent available for purchase in most whole food stores. I like Heritage products in particular (www.caycecures.com).
Having said all that -- if you like the feel of mineral oil, there\'s no reason not to use it.
