XtoysEarthly Body Edible Massage Oil Strawberry 2oz Review
Editor's opinion
This is a strawberry-flavoured, edible massage oil made from a natural blend of skin-conditioning oils. It suits couples who want an unhurried, sensory massage with a hint of flavour. The main caveat is the almond content, which rules it out for anyone with a nut allergy.
Massage oils sit at the gentler end of the romance category, and this Earthly Body offering leans into that. It sets out to do two things at once: provide a smooth glide for hands-on massage, and be pleasant enough to taste thanks to a strawberry flavour.
What a buyer should weigh is less about performance claims and more about the ingredients and format. This is a plant-oil blend in a small bottle, which shapes both who it works for and how you should use it around other products.
The good and the bad

- Handy 2oz size to keep by the bedside
- No batteries or charging, always ready to use
What to be aware of
- Contains almond oil, so unsuitable for nut allergies

Buy it if
Couples who enjoy giving and receiving massage and want a natural, skin-conditioning oil with a flirtatious flavour for relaxed, unhurried moments.
Skip it if
Anyone with a nut or seed allergy should avoid it given the almond content, and anyone relying on latex condoms should choose a water-based product instead, as oils degrade latex.
Design and ingredients
The formula is built around a blend of plant oils: hemp, almond, grapeseed and apricot, with vitamin E. Between them these are recognised skin-conditioning oils, which is why the brand describes the finish as moisturising rather than merely slippery. The strawberry flavour and edible formulation are what set it apart from a plain carrier oil.
The almond content is the single most important thing to check before buying. Nut-derived oils are a genuine allergy risk, so this is not a product to gift casually without knowing the recipient can use it safely.
How it is meant to be used
This is a massage oil first and foremost, warmed between the hands and worked across the skin. The edible, flavoured element is designed for tasteful, playful massage rather than as an intimate lubricant.
Because it is oil-based, it is not compatible with latex condoms, which oils weaken. It is also not the right choice as a lubricant for penetration; if that is what you need, a dedicated water-based lubricant is the sensible companion product.
Care, quantity and shelf life
At 2oz, this is a modest bottle. For occasional back and shoulder massage it will stretch a long way, but for regular full-body sessions between two people it will not last indefinitely, so factor that into your expectations.
As a natural oil blend it is worth storing away from heat and light, and keeping the cap clean. Being oil-based, it can mark fabrics and bedding, so an old towel underneath is a practical precaution.
How it compares
Compared with a plain unscented carrier oil, the appeal here is the strawberry flavour and the edible, ready-to-use formulation aimed squarely at couples. Compared with warming or tingling massage products, this is a gentler, more straightforward proposition focused on glide and skin conditioning.
If you specifically want a flavoured product you can use during oral play or as an all-rounder, an edible oil like this fits. If your real need is a slick lubricant that works with condoms, that is a different category and this is not a substitute.
The bottom line
As a natural, flavoured massage oil for couples, this is an easy and pleasant choice, and the conditioning oil blend is a genuine point in its favour. Just go in clear-eyed about the almond content, the latex incompatibility and the small bottle size, and it does exactly what it sets out to do.
Frequently asked questions
Is this oil safe to use with condoms?
No. It is an oil-based product, and oils degrade latex condoms, reducing their reliability. If you need protection during play, use a water-based lubricant instead and keep this for massage.
Can people with nut allergies use it?
It contains almond oil, so it is not suitable for anyone with a nut allergy. Always check the full ingredient list, and do not use it on a partner without knowing they can tolerate the ingredients.
Is it really edible?
The brand formulates it as an edible, flavoured oil intended for tasteful massage play. As with any product used near the mouth, use common sense, avoid it if you have relevant allergies, and stop if there is any irritation.
Will it leave a greasy mess?
It is designed to absorb into the skin and leave a non-greasy finish. That said, as an oil it can still transfer to fabrics, so protecting bedding with a towel is sensible.
How long will the bottle last?
At 2oz it is a compact size. For occasional shoulder or back massage it will go a long way, but for frequent full-body use between partners you may find you use it up fairly quickly.
