Soya Bean Oil is a light oil with a mild scent that was first introduced to the United States from the Orient. This oil was rarely used before 1950, but now counts for more than 65% of all oil commercially used in the United States. The oil is expressed from the bean and is high in linoleic acid, contains proteins and some vitamin C, A, E, and K. It is susceptible to oxidation and can be a sensitizer, so care needs to be taken when using in massage blends. Soya bean is a light-textured, nourishing, easily absorbed, odorless oil, suitable for all skin types. Soya Bean oil is a versatile carrier which is suitable for general massage and is increasingly popular among massage therapists as an alternative to sweet almond oil. Use it on its own or blend it with other carrier oils. |
