Massage gel provides a very appealing glide across the skin. Although gels tend to have plant oils as their primary ingredient, they tend not to be greasy feeling. Rather, they have a consistency that is pleasant for both the client and therapist, and they can be used in very controlled quantities because they absorb into the skin more slowly.
Plant oils that are extracted by grinding or crushing (AKA cold pressing) are known as carrier oils. Think of the process of making pure peanut butter: Raw peanuts are ground into a fine paste. If left in storage, eventually the solids collect at the bottom, and the oil rises to the surface. Many plants produce useful nuts and seeds for oil extraction.
